I had a 1960 Willys CJ5 for a few years with rear facing aircraft landing lights so I didn't back of a cliff or something off road or in the snow. That thing had a max speed of ~58mph going downhill with a stiff tailwind so people would get really aggressive trying to make me go faster and run right up on my bumper. When it got really annoying I'd flip those puppies on. They would back off either because they were blinded, pissed off or because they left the road unexpectedly.
In the last few months I've seen some outrageous shit on the roads related to handheld device use. More than once I've seen people drive right off the road at highway speed and a bunch of accidents of varying degrees of intensity. Wednesday I watched a head on three cars in front of me when a woman was texting and came over the line. She lost badly to a dump truck. I feel terrible for the truck driver who most likely has that image implanted deep in his mind now
