Has this ever happened to you? I was pulling up to a traffic light and there was one of those giant suv things stopped there. I get up behind him and my lights hit his chrome bumper reflect back and take away my sight for a second......this has happened many times to me next time I'll stay back a few more feet.

 

It's happened to me more than once. It's equally bad when one of those big bastards pulls up behind you at night and you are blinded by the light. It makes me wish I had a high beam for the backup light!

 

Yeah, it's great when some Suburban or worse. . .Excursion comes so close to your back bumper that the mere engine vibration could make it contact your car and then with the "Deer Hunting" Spotlights (aka Regular Halogens for Cars) hits your side mirrors and rear view. There is no where to escape to. . .

I usually use the Power Mirrors and get the light out of my eyes and then I am sure to rev on to 9000 when the light turns green!

 

I try to aim the mirrors at the driver behind me

 

If anyone ever got too close behind me back when I was a smart-ass college kid, I had accidentally-on-purpose directed my CRX Si's rear windshield spritzer up at a 45-degree angle. Any car within range could be squirted in a quasi-cupid-in-a-water-fountain rolling automotive urinary display at 65 mph.

We could retrofit the S2000's rear bumpers with those Aussie headlight sprayers.

Honda S2000: Australian for 'tinkle.'

 

Carry a 300,000 candlepower spotlight. You'll find that the power outlet on the console is in the perfect spot for this.
