	If I recall correctly, you're one of the "55 enforcers" who
won't move out of the passing lane until it's safe. Well no wonder
you only see lights shining in your stinkin' rear view mirror mirror!
:-)

	Here's my solution to bright lights in the rear view: Drop 
down one gear, kick in the four barrel and watch those lights fade
to nothing. 

	Just as bad as the "mother-in-law in the rear seat with the
headlights pointing to heaven" problem you pointed out are the bozos
with their air shocks pumped-up to 125 lbs./in**2 and the lights 
only illuminating 10 feet in front of the car. And these are the
guys usually driving some clapped-out old piece of shit that probably
can't stop worth a crap anyway.

	So, I still say properly aligned lights are OK. The people
with misaligned lights should have 'em shoved. And all 55mph signs
should be recycled into radar detectors, too! Hah.
