I'm glad to see this thread. I live in truck country and every other one has lights that are absolutely blinding. I flashed a couple of them in the past and it looked like an aircraft carrier lit up when they flashed back. I thought I was either going blind or crazy. What the OEM and after market manufacturers have done is very dangerous, but if there's a buck in it, who cares? When one of the folks with these lights jump on my bumper, like they all seem to do if you're not going 15 mph over the speed limit (already 60 on my two lane road), I take my foot off the accelerator until they pass me.
I whole heartedly agree, and react the same way! If they are going to create a unsafe condition I will do my best to reduce the risk. Usually the only way to compensate is to slow down, which usually results in the 1 finger wave as they go by.
Don't get me started on the manufacturers disregard for safety, especially those bright extra driving lights that drivers leave on all the time.
