What would you do?
Ok so picture this. You're driving at night and you live in a development that's kind out in the desert. A car or truck is behind you and their high beams are on. The light is like blinding you and filling your car with ungodly bright light. You're on a long stretch on road and is not a passing zone. WTF do you do?! It's so facking annoying. I mean if someone in oncoming traffic had high beams on and didn't turn em off I'd flash my lights but what if they're behind you? Mil says flash your brake light. But that doesn't do shat I've tried. They probably think you tapped your break for whatever reason.

I usually place my rear view mirror to the night setting. Then I use the adjustor button to move the side mirrors to where I feel they are reflecting back at the driver. Even if I fail, their lights aren't in my eyes anymore. But if it is that bad, then just move over slightly to the shoulder, and let them pass you.

Speed up cuz I would feel like they're out to get me ?? I get paranoid at this stuff I watch to much horror. ?
I have no idea? That's a tough one!

Part of me says I'd pull over and let them pass as long as my weapon is next to me. Which it usually is. Then the other part of me wonders if it is a set up to get you to pullover. Clearly I watch way too many crime shows. Lol could you turn down a road or no?

There's very little room to pull aside. I guess I could do that but it seriously happens waaay too much. More than you would think. I'll try moving the mirrors.

Oh that is so annoying! I sometimes slow down to let them pass me, or try my best to ignore it.

And no there's no side road for a couple miles. But I don't know if our pos car could pull into bumpy dirt on the sides and get out safely. Lol

This road sounds familiar lol. I usually drive a truck through these types of roads, so I off road sometimes. I really wouldnt know what to do if I was in my little hybrid.

Flick my lights on and off a few times, flash the hazards. If all else fails I'm zooming to get some space behind them. I get night glare pretty bad as is.

I don't pull over anymore for someone doing that. Last time that happened I put on my blinker to pullover and let them around me they turned on flashing lights?.

I pump the brakes. Like 5 times in a row. Pause. 5 times in a row. Hopefully they get it then.

I deal with this at least once every time I leave my house. People around here do that when they think you're driving too slow (like 80 in a 45) so I slow way down and then move my side mirrors around to make their high beams flash right back in their face like a strobe light. Then they usually turn them off and may even back off a little, but sometimes they'll go around even if it's a no passing zone. If they do that, move towards the shoulder a little and brake, because they will get back over in your lane before they've completely passed you, and then they will slam on their brakes to try and make you hit them. Just resist the urge to go chasing after them with your high beams on.

It's awful. What happened to driving with manners? Or did that ever exist? Lol.
