Yup.  BTDT.  The lights on my car are kind of asymmetric as well (not like
the old 4-quad Hellas, but better than the typical Amero-candles), and I've
had one or two trucks (semi's, lorries) get nasty.  One guy turned on a
rearward pointed spot as I passed him -- most unpleasant.  He stopped when
I gave him the mains (and downshifted, floored it, and ran past him at a
high rate of speed).

Not everybody out there has the patience and understanding that we all
exhibit :-)
