Re: Fog/aux lights blinding oncoming traffic

[Huw Powell <human@nh.ultranet.com>]

SO I'm out in this crap that passes for weather last night, and on a
long straightaway I'm being seriously blinded by some guy.  About 3/4 of
a mile away.  I figure hiw high beams are on since I don;t see the tell
tale trapezoid of driving lights.  So I flash him a few times, but of
course in the 85 with stock lights that just looks like I'm driving with
my emergency flashers on...

as he gets closer, and I feel like I am flying into the sun, I start
having trouble identifying what he is driving and where his car is. 
Car?  Is it a motorcycle?  Two bright lights right next to each other? 
can't be.  Snowmobile maybe???

Turns out he is driving with his parking lights and a pair of humungous
round driving lights on top of the center of his bumper, and nothing
else.  Ow.

I'm sure he didn't see me flashing him, the reflection of his lights in
my headlights was probably brighter than their output!
