Clearly, Mr. Dunn has never been blinded by a driver with bad manners
and misaligned high beams. There is a reason why it is illegal to use
high beams when following another vehicle within <insert distance from
the HTA here>: it could easily cause accidents.

Yes, I will usually get out of the way if I can (and generally, I can't
do so immediately) when some idiot flashes me, but that does not justify
his* action.
