    Watch the S O B turn around and try to sue your company for his injury. Sounds like he's enough of a jerk to try it.

    Ok, i gotta rant. (I know right, this is your shocked face)

    WTF is with all the people (mostly 4 wheelers) driving around with their brights on? Since when did this become acceptable? Tons of traffic, both ways? nah, i don't care, I'll just drive with all my brights on plus my fancy german driving lights. I swear one day I'm going to go across the median with the big truck and see if they notice that

    TURN OFF YOUR #### BRIGHTS.

    Oh yeah, it's an interstate, it's a full moon, it's perfect dry weather. Either stay home and stop driving or learn to drive.

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    yeah, not enough sleep, thanks stupid dog who wants to bark at squirrels all day. (that would be my dog)

    People have gotten worse about remembering to dim their brights cause they spend a much larger percentage operating their cell phones to notice anything else around them as they drive.

    It's not a lack of courtesy, more of a lack of attention.

    One dark Sunday night my dad and I were coming home from Sandy Hook, Kentucky far far away buried in nowhere'sville in Appalachia it's not close to anything no interstate no major city it's far away it does have a McDonald's though which proves that Martin Browers reach is pretty much knows no bounds those companies deliver anywhere and I'm sure GFS has a drop yard hidden somewhere there as well. My dad was buying a new van, because his old van was in an accident. I was driving his old van and a gangbanger in an old Mercedes Benz went left of center and direct hit got my dads van. It was a big mess. Anyhow he found a new van and actually even though his old van took a good hit it was still driveable we drove it a far distance and back no problems. ]

    However on the road back we were on what I think is Kentucky Route 7 or US route 7 which gets you to interstate 64. We were trying to get back to the Ohio River and then north from there.

    Anyhow, dark very dark and this yahoo in the other lane comes out of nowhere driving with no lights on. Scared the begesus out of me.

    I don't know people just don't care about anything any more. I think personally society is going down and this is all signs of that.

    I just got a new car and one of the "features" were auto brights. I turned that #### off immediately cause I am just as tired of it as you are.

    I hate brights. I never use them cause I know how much it pissed me off when I ran overnight line. Constantly flashing people to turn their #### down. I get my usual scare when DoT pulls me over and signals me to turn them on. I honestly don't know if they work cause I never check them. I don't use my brights for anything other than signaling other truckers to pass me in the daytime.
