My father used to drive a car with a spot light that could be aimed.
When he encountered someone who refused to switch off their highbeams he
turned on the spot light and aimed it at the right edge of the road and
then slowly started to move it over towards the on coming car. He never
actually had to aim it at the car however, the driver always seemed to get 
the message pretty quickly.
