What do you do when people flash their high beams

[STANGGT40]

I dont think I've ever been flashed any brights, as I tend to pay attention on the highway. I have however flashed my brights at quite a few people.

What irks me are the assholes who get mad when you flash them, like you're the asshole when they are left lane camping. I don't flash my lights unless I've been behind someone for a mile or so, and they aren't paying attention. I usually spend most of my time on road trips in the left lane, because my doing 10-20 over the speed limit depending on the road. But if someone does end up behind me, I get over and let them have the lead.

same here...it's too bad that everyone doesn't do that! i regularly see idiots driving the speed limit (or even less), camping out in the left lane, and they don't see any issues with it.

No it's the people driving 100+ down the street swerving in and out of traffic.

And I agree, I don't mind someone else being the cop magnet for me. Normally I get out of the way but I am not going to speed up more than I already am because I don't want to get a ticket for going 20+ over.

Here's a fun fact: About 99.9% of the people here who say "I good am courteous driver111" actually suck.

At usage of the English language. Agreed.

There are always the morons that get behind you and flash their high beams even if you are already going over the speed limit. What do you do?

is it because you're doing the speed limit and driving in the far left lane, and people are having to pass you on the right lane?

[JimD]

Move over, flip finger and shout profanities at them.

[Wicked98Snake]

in all honesty though, i whip around in my 6-4 and go blast them with my gat!

Had to quote this car because it's freakin awesome. Not a huge fan of the hydraulics or wheel choice but the color choice and trim make it beautiful!

I had someone flash me while I was on my bike after passing him in the right lane. At the next light I got off and went to his window to ask him why. He said "you shouldn't be going 70mph in a 55mph zone."
Just. Fucking. Wow.

[SSMAN]

I try to get out of the way. I am always for a sucker in front of me going faster to soak up the tickets.

The pussies I hate are the one in the fast lane not getting out of the way driving under the speed limit. Then when you go around they flash you. Just for driving around them. WTF?


Lead, follow , or get the fuck out of the way.

I always give someone ample time to move over before I flash, but if I give them time, and then flash, and they still have time/space to move and don't, I have this almost uncontrollable urge to pass on the shoulder.

I said "almost"...

I was driving down 30 going to Arlington and the left lane opened up, I moved over and proceeded to do about 80-85. Well some JackA$$ in a GMC Jimmy decides to move in front of me and THEN give me the little "no, no" finger in his mirror....I had so much rage at this point...thankfully I have a little voice in my head that requires me to think before acting...but I can still think it

I remember reading a law regarding this. Something to the effect of:
"The left lane is for passing only. If you are going slower than the flow of traffic or just enough to remain consistent with the flow of traffic then you should NOT be in the left lane."

I hate it and if I were a police officer I would write everyone of those assholes a ticket, not to make a difference but because I hate it...anyways
this is just as much of a moving hazard to others as the guy doing 100 through the highway. IF someone demands to do 100 down the highway the safest compromise would be to give that idiot a straight path so that they are not weaving in and out of traffic; which would be even MORE hazardous.

I thought only eurotrash did this? I'd most likely ignore it unless I though it was the fuzz.

[Cooter]

Nope.

lol, I'll sit down some time and see if I can put it down in text good enough to really put you in the moment

otherwise, I'll tell you the story next time I hit you up to run a plate!

[Cooter]

I didn't say which shoulder, now did I?


Oh, and since you are the authority on this, can one drive with their high beams on in the daytime?

Please tell me it's illegal...

then tell me it's legal to kill people who do it!

I can't stand people who do that shit

I am going to be so gay for saying this.. b ut if it wasn't for the homo wheels that's pretty damn cool looking.

Drivers in most other cities will move over to the sholder if not the other lane when they notice faster traffic coming up behind them. However, peeps in the DFW area feel it's their right to regulate traffic flow and keep faster folks behind them.
