What is your method to get someone’s attention?

I have a small but extremely bright LED flashlight that lives in a pocket on the doghouse. It has an adjustable beam, flood to spot, and three settings, low, high and high strobe. You would NOT miss the strobe pointed your way.

I've used it a few times to get another drivers attention, it is very effective, day or night.

I don't think I would want a light pointed my way, at night in particular. And the strobe sure sounds like a bad idea. Too big a chance of blinding some one temporarily. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, I know you mean well, btw.

LOL. I guess the difference is in using a light, or anything else, to get someone's attention, versus long enough to induce an epileptic seizure.

I suppose your idea of doing nothing and leaving an unsafe situation be until something more subtle like a wreck, or God forbid, a fatality happens would be far less distracting.

To each their own I guess.

I did not say don't do anything, I said don't point a light, especially a strobe light, at me. No need to add something in that I didn't say. If you read my first comment, I did second calling 911. Beats being the cause of another accident.

Call 911? Other than the idea of calling 911 for a non-emergency being a BAD idea (and illegal) the time involved for a police officer to find the vehicle, IF they even find it, could be time required for a bad situation to become a bad accident.

BTW, guess what the police would do?

Get the drivers attention with FLASHING LIGHTS.

The OP clearly mentioned the difficulty of getting the other persons attention. A 1" flashlight at a distance of 50' or 100' is not going to do anything but get someone's attention.
