    Amber LED flashers on a semi trailer. More visible than red at night and very bright.
    Glad I can usually get ahead of those.

    We used to put the landing lights into the pur-lux driving lamp housing, but never used them if anyone was in front of as in coming at us. Never use my high beams if someone in in front of me either.

    My uncle drove for Roadway many years ago and he said they would hang the aircraft landing lights on the back of the trailer. I'd never do something like that; could kill a whole family.

    I find a mix of soluble oil and waters works fairly well for those whom like to tailgate with the brights on, there wipers only make it worse, by the time they gett it cleaned off were long gone.

    That's not attempted murder, anything less they won't understand. There tring to kill you with there bad driving habits. If your close enough for a liquid tossed out my window to hit your windshield your too dam close. You get what you get, next time you won't pull up there. And if your running LED Off Road lights or high beams then you deserve it and more.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    It takes an extra step, you have take your pee jug and empty it into water balloons.
