    Not what you think.

    It used to just be the fourwheelers that would high beam me to let me know it was safe to move into their lane, but recently ive been blinded by a large number of trucks.

    Seriously. I keep my mirrors clean so they are very reflective, i value that in my mirrors.

    If you dont have a switch or an interupt button to turn your lights off or maybe you cant reach the switch. Its okay, all you have to do is nothing. Really! Its that easy. My signal was on because i knew i had room to come over, it wasnt a question.

    Blinding me is like me slamming my brakes on once i get in front of you as a thank you so you can see my lights flash. Instead i use my clearance interupt switch because i care about you.

    To the pros who do understand the rules of talking with your lights, thank you from me and the eye examiners everywhere.

    had some oldtimer in a 4 wheeler last week. turns his lights OFF then back on to let me know I could come back over after I moved over so he could get on the freeway. THAT was much appreciated.
