vinceb Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I was driving back from Manchester last night, and from Bamford a range rover arrived behind me and proceeded to almost blind me with its headlights; maybe range rovers just have very bright lights even when dipped, but more likely the driver had them on full beam. I was trying to get his attention by dipping/undipping my lights repeatedly, and by even flicking my lights completely off and back on again several times, but the message didn't get through. Does anybody know of any good tricks to warning somebody that their lights are on full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_camper Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hazard lights. Then even if he doesn't dip his lights he will pobably back off enough so as to not dazzle you. It has worked for me in the past. Or pull over and let him pass, galling I know but safer maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moomin Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 You may be right that they had them on main beam, but having driven a fairly low slung car I found that if 4x4s don't have their dipps adjusted right they can still be quite high cos the car is so much higher. My only usual way is to slow down, let them pass and then flick to main a fwe times and hope they get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansfeast Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Just ignore it! Range Rovers and all those other fantastic 4x4's that get you over the rocky roads we have these days are higher off the ground and so dazzle generally anyway, nothing you can do about it except move to a position where they no longer dazzle... And if they were in the middle lane of the M1 last night being overtaken by me, in a daze like so many car drivers these days - you wouldn't have a chance of getting a message across anyway! I say we should all start fixing these lit up message boards to the front and backs of our cars that are voice activated... hehe what fun that would be!

Cyclone Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 fog light flicked on and off several times. Or being a huge fat SUV, leave it behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah1 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Most rear view mirrors have a thing at the bottom so you can flick it down if you're being dazzled.. You can still see through it, but without the dazzle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Pull over and let them pass and then give them the same treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
