Well i thought i was famous with all people flashing me but then i realised that when people come over a speed bump it looks as though they are flashing but they arnt....
I'm constantly wondering if people are flashing but think it is just undulating road - very annoying.

i seem to get flashed all the time as well - to be honest i've become immune to it and just blind the offending party back. They soon take their full beams off once they realise i've not got full beams on and that hedge that was next to them is now in front of them

my other half seems to think the lights are far too bright!?
I dont think its the adjustment, as when behind cars, they are barely above the number plate when a 6-10foot away.

I don't do it where they could crash into me - plus I don't care

They are all wankers and should be hauled out of their cars and beaten round the head for being such pricks. They really annoy me. I think its the "im cool - **** everyone else" attitude which pisses me off

I get flashed all the time (at least once per night drive) - I assume it's because the HIDs are quite bright and others assume I have my full beams on. A very breif flash of full beams to show that I haven't usually sorts it out.

Only had it a few times, but as schofs says a quick flash of high beam usually sorts them out.

What is it with the numpties that need to drive along a motorway/dual carriageway at night with full beam.
Blinding you in the process.

- I sometimes think I should chill out about stuff like this, but it's good to know other people are the same

It's as annoying as middle lane sitting imo.

I've had people tell me that these headlights should be banned, presumably on the grounds that they're better than the ones of most cars...
