    Honestly I just want a display in the back that has a few preset messages set to a button in the front. Stuff like “Please give me more space” or “Your headlights are too bright”.

    Barring that, would love a mirror that redirects headlights back to the driver’s face. If I can deal with it, you can deal with it too.

      I want one of those, too. Ironically, I think I’d be using the “it’s dark; turn on your headlights” preset more often than the “your headlights are too bright” one. (I blame daytime running lights: drivers see the ground lit up in front of them and don’t realize they still have to turn the headlight switch in order for their taillights to come on too.)

      Is it illegal? Absolutely.

      Do the cops do anything about it? Absolutely not.

      Meanwhile I’m getting blinded by lifted trucks with overhead lights and a LED light bars on the grills

        I drive a small car, I absolutely hate it when pavement princesses come up from behind and blind me. In general I want to give the cops as little reason to issue tickets as possible. Retroreflectors are why we can see signs from a distance when it’s pitch black, so it’s a good option that doesn’t technically break any laws even if the law is basically completely unenforced
