Starting at Schneider

Happy birthday youngsters. I'll be 76 in June

 

Personally, I wouldn't show anyone anything like my license. Let them get aggravated. They had to learn themselves once. They need to learn to deal with it.

Years ago, one ol' boy got ticked at me, because where they unloaded my flatbed, there was a dock I was blocking, that he wanted to use. Didn't matter that there were 6 others open and ready, he wanted that one. Biotched at me for blocking the dock, I looked up and down the building, and said "This one must be the one you practiced on, since the other 6 are available." He said smugly "that's the one we use, but you wouldn't know that, since you just started driving yesterday"!

I looked right at him, and said "well, it was a week ago, but thank you for noticing!" He started mumbling something, and got back in his truck.

 

They used to be adjustable. Not sure if still are.

 

The new stuff just has projector beams like a flashlight. They just point straight out into peoples eyes but really don't break up the light and spread it out onto the road. The older glass lights and some of the plastic had those patterns carved into them to break the light up and make it disperse evenly onto the road out in front of you. Appears they don't care about that concept anymore

 

Some are adjustable, some aren't. Often, if they have been replaced with aftermarket parts after a crunch they aren't adjustable or they adjust really poorly. The ones from Red Dragon/People's Revolutionary Industries are really bad for not adjusting properly.

 

Please tell me that's not an actual brand name...
