I'm developing a strain of nocturnal tourette's and these bastards are to blame - any other sufferers out there?
I'm thinking of buying a Toyota Landcrusier or a VW Touareg
Just try not to drive it at night or in Canada.
Especially when meeting them on the brow of a hill, f**king blinded
Those weird sodium bulbs should be banned from cars.
You get dazzled when someone is driving behind you with them.

Are they the ones that glow bright white, instead of the usual yellowish colour?
Stupid cnuts driving about all the time with their fog lights on annoy me too.

There needs to be a recognised signal for that, like flashing your lights to let people know there's a speed trap (mayogodhelpus will have me frogmarched to jail for that one) or flashing hazard lights to say thanks, or the like, to let these clowns know their fog lights are blinding you. I've been trying to introduce the one where you train your full headlights on them (you dazzle me, you're going to get dazzled back) but it never seems to work. (Snatch squad being scrambled in Mayo).
I have no problem with blokes who drive 4 x 4's because they need to drive them for their work but when you see Touaregs and range rovers with extra low profile tyres that is complete stupidity. A 5 series Beemer or an A6 would be 10 times the motor that these SUV's are. As for females and X5's and leaving kids to school in them - dont get me started.

I've been using this approach too.
One very welcome effect of the recession will be less of these SUVs on the road in the future and people will have to go back to plain old family saloons.

Have to admit I do stick on the fulls for a split second to let spas coming in the opposite direction that they have their fulls on (split second mind). If someone is driving to close to me, I stick on my hazards for about a second, I repeat twice more, if they persist I turn the light on inside my car and give them the finger.

So you turn on the light in your car,turn around and give them the finger all while driving?
You are more of a hazard on the road than anyone you are complaining about

Don't turn around, have done it twice, left hand up - light on, left hand up finger raised, rotate wrist and they back off, yip I know its not smart or good driving, but I'm sick to my shit of dickheads driving to withing 2 metres of the back of my car with their full lights on, they won't back off or pass me out.

A couple of foot taps on the brake and they will get the message. Less dangerous that f**king about turning on and off lights...

Is it simply because their headlights are that bit higher off the ground that us folks in cars get blinded?
Surely manufacturers can rectify this
Maybe you should consider a tractor Niall!
