These newer headlights they are using these days are all blinding to me. Even without the highbeams on.
That being said. because of their height. The lights of all trucks blind everyone in cars going in the opposite direction
Another two pet peeves. Truckers driving at night.
Truckers who insist on tailgating you as a way of intimidation.
I don't get intimidated. I get pissed off. and am game to the challange and will refuse to move and will often start to slow down. Trucker gonna threaten to run me over...go for it.
The fastest way to get into a confrontation with me is to try to intimidate me . Where as approaching me reasonably most of the time will get one more satisfactory results.
A quick flick of the lights while your still a reasonable distance behind me to let me know you want ot go by will find me much more co operative then filling my rear window with the grill of your truck
I am the same exact way,
when I first opened my Tattoo shop, about a month into it, I had a "visit" from the Town Biker gang, One did the talking, the other 8 or so, stood in a half circle around the waiting room with there arms crossed trying to look all tough, so the one that actually talks says something like "... so we will bring all Patch wearing members in and they will get a major discount, anyone who is not a patch wearing maember, them you can charge ...this is how it normaly works..."
after I laughed a few minutes I says to him "IF YOU get say 15 or more hours by me, THEN I will consider giving you a deal, if He ,(I point to one of the other members), gets a lot of work, him I will give a deal, but in no way will every "Patch" member get a deal just because they wear a patch."
They did not like this, no one ever came in from that club
you wanna talk about getting pissed instead of intimidated, This is absolutely the truth, about 16 years ago when I was really a mean bastard, I am walking across Valley st in my home town of Manchester, I see a small pickup coming but there is more then enough time to get across so I walk, well as the truck gets closer to me it points his nose right at me,(HOing A-Hole:-) so I stop in his lane and raise my arms like "what ya gonna do" I don't move, he keeps coming right at me, I still don't move, as he veers around me, I side step and do a side thrust kick into the back of the truck, its like a small S-10, I send it almost all the way sideways, tires squeal, he slams on the brakes, I yell "COME ON MOTHER F-Ker" at which point he abruptly takes off.
(very smart move on his part at the time.)
there is NO intimadating this mofo
