similar story to above stories...

Was driving minding my own business. All of a sudden I noticed a station wagon behind me following close...then he puts his flash on and holds it. I did what most people would do and pull to the right lane. He does the same and starts flashing his highs and holding it on. Now I'm pissed.

So I slowed down but to about the speed of traffic flow. The other driver was too scared to pass in the fasting and more free flowing lane. I finally get off an exit and he's still behind me...too scared to pass. We finally came to a light and he looked over nervously and looked away.

 

I love getting in front or behind (preferably behind) someone driving noticably drunk. I start weaving back and forth to f*** with them. After a while they will almost always start weaving and run off the road. It is hillarious, and if they wreck it is their own fault for driving drunk.

 

I've driven in front of other in s2ks, and it can be a bit distracting. However, no where near as bad as huge trucks and SUVs whose headlights are 4 feet off the ground. They flood your car with light so you can't see anything in any of your mirrors, and all the light makes tthe windshield reflect your interior. That's not only far more annoying its far more dangerous than our HIDs.

I find that most people who flash their high beams in my neighborhood are usually older drivers (60s to 70s driving something made by Buick or Mercury). I'll flash them back to show them I'm not driving with the hi-beams on. But in general i find myself moving over to the right a little and I definitely don't tailgate. My funniest experience was when somebody with a BMW with HIDs repeatedly flashed his brights at me!

 

I have a pretty unique experience with my HID's. Now I have had multiple flashings as well, but one night I was on a one lane state road with a couple in a Pathfinder about 5-6 car lengths ahead of me. I had been behind him awhile and could not pass him on this one lane road, so I just kept my distance. After a while I notice a bright white light coming from in between the two front seats up near the rear view mirror. It took me a minute or so to realize that he was pointing a flashlight back at me. I guess this was to try to tell me he thought my high beams were on. Well I then gave him a few flashes of my real high beams and he turned his flash light off. I wound up passing him as soon as I could as not to bother him anymore. To my suprise, he didn't try to pay me back with a dose of his high beams.

I have driven in front of other S2000's and I do notice that when the S goes over slight bumps in the road, it appears as though you are getting "flashed" and I'm sure this is what happens as other people are driving towards or away from us. Anytime I drive behind friends, I normally get to hear that my lights are "terrible". Oh well. They'll get over it.
