[QUOTE="Queen_Dopplepopolis, post: 3544579, member: 14323"] Understanding how scary this event was requires an understanding of my vision. It's poor and I am very sensitive to light... especially when it's dark. The regular lights of traffic in opposite lanes are frequently enough to cause me trouble driving at night - which is why I try to avoid it. However, I was recently driving home at night on I-95 here in Maryland. I was in the far left lane cruising along at the speed of traffic (about 75). There was a car a few lengths in front of me and a car to my right. Suddenly some jerk in a giant SUV gets behind me and decides that 10 miles over the speed limit is not fast enough and starts flashing his brights and honking. Now, there are several things to consider: (1) I cannot speed up. I am going the speed of traffic. To speed up would mean running into the people in front of me. (2) I cannot switch lanes. There is a car to my right. I quick flipped up my rear-view mirror to avoid being totally blinded, but the guy just didn't stop. Honk honk! Flash flash! It went on for a mile or two when, without warning, he pulled onto the shoulder and sped up to about 95 mph and passed me and the several cars ahead of me. Sad thing is, it's not the first time that's happened to me. The next day, I was driving down a residential street headed home after work. I was going between 25 and 30 and a car pulls up behind me and starts flashing the brights. When I stopped (a full stop) at a stop sign, they started honking and yelling out their windows! Way to bitch at me for being a responsible driver. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
