I have *very* carefully adjusted my headlights to conform to the
vehicle code.  I know that the headlights are not pointed too
high, yet I am constantly having people flash their high beams
at me.  Some jerks just leave their high beams on until they
pass me.

This really disturbs me when it happens.  My grandfather was
killed in a car accident because someone left their high beams
on and blinded him, causing him to miss a curve in the road
and hit a wall.

People, revenge with your high beams is stupid and childish.
How will you feel if you cause someone to be killed because
they forgot and left their high beams on, and you zap them
with yours?  Zapping people with your high beams makes you
no better than they are.
