I'm talking about those HUGE 4X4 trucks that some people have. Well, it seems like in West Virginia it is the majority that have them (and I am in the minority...I just drive a simple little Grand Am). Do they actually put spotlights on them instead of regular head lights?? And do they have to put double on?? I can't tell you how many times I've almost run off the side of the road because they completely blind me when they come towards me. They aren't so bad in the city because there are street lights, but going home on the dark roads and one comes at you it's scarey.
And, it never failes, at least 3 times a week I will get one behind me. I'm sorry, when I can see my shadow (not my car's shadow...my shadow INSIDE my car) 50 ft in front of me that is too much. I had one behind me one night, and I thought he was driving with his high beams on. I couldn't see ANYTHING because of the glare from the rear view mirror and the side mirror, so I finally put on my turn signal to pull over so he could pass. He flashed his high beams at me (to thank me??) and I swear the glare burned my retinas!
I'm not complaining about the drivers of these vehicles (except the ones that insist on passing me doing 90 in snow when I'm already a nervous wreck. I'm sorry, I don't drive a tank like you do and have to go a little bit slower), but what are the manufactuers thinking?? Can't they put an extra dimmer switch in them so that people who still drive normal vehicles don't cringe when they see one coming? Or, are they trying to make us all buy one for defense? I'm sorry but I can't afford a $40,000 truck right now.
I'm sorry, I just needed to vent.
