Default People driving behind you on Full beam...

Just got one to add to the list of stupid tricks the 40mph brigade are doing at night when you overtake them at 60mph (after indicating and, after having overtaken then pulling in very smoothly on a straight road about 20 car spaces ahead of them!)

What do they do...

Stick their FULL BEAM on and drive right up your **** to make a point...

WHAT POINT ?

my point would be to slow to 20mph and pi55 them off more, plus why not flick the mirror up so you dont have to see the high beam

Question Why

If your driving properly, why would you want to drive as badly as them and slow to 20? just because they are idiots doesn't mean you have to descend to their level

A mate of mine has a pickup that he uses to go rabbit shooting at night with. Consequentially it has 4 massive swivelling spotlights mounted to the roof. When travelling he has these facing rearwards to stop them getting damaged. They are remote operated and each have roughly 120W bukbs in em. We had someone put the full beams on after we overtook them. A couple of quick flashes with 500W of lights very quickly makes them reconsider! Yeah, it could have ben a bit dodgy for them I will concede, but if they were driving properly it wouldn't have been a problem!

This has to be the most hilarious thing I've read in years...I can just their knee-jerk reaction, shock, confusion, scrunched up faces behind flailing arms

...the 'bitching' aftermath must have gone on for weeks...

Classic - it's like something out of One foot in the grave...
