MODERATORS
I've often considered putting a giant mirror in my back window to reflect their high beams back into their eyes
If they're tailgating enough and their lights are bright enough you can adjust your side mirrors to shine a beam right back in their face. I've done it a handful of times.
I hear this pretty often but how do you know if it works?
I just pull over, let them pass, then put my highbeams on while behind them.
You can see the beam of light moving around if you watch your center mirror.
I've seen this advice and tried it. It feels so incredibly dangerous to try track the beam of light while still trying to pay attention to the road.
