If you don’t encounter slow drivers you are the slow driver. It’s amazing how when I drive slow with a trailer in tow I never encounter a car I need to pass, but without the trailer doing 15mph faster I pass 2-3 cars in the same 25 miles of road.

I often wonder if slow drivers on their death beds regret the thousands of hours they wasted of their lives driving slow. I know for me the destination is more important than the journey. I do 10-12 over at all times, and get very impatient with people who go under the speed limit. Slow drivers are more dangerous than people who speed, and cause significantly more accidents.

Yes! high beaming someone for no reason is just unacceptable.

In my hypothetical happy world that behavior would be a felony.

I drive 30 miles on 116 to work and I don't see this too often. I do see the stopping before making the turn thing tho! I see way more people drive out onto 116 from side roads without stopping at their stop sign, then moseying into in front of cars going 55-60mph. And those who pass on blind corners, or with oncoming traffic. Older model green CRV or Rav4 that routinely drives like a totally A-hole at 80mph+ in the Bristol/Starksboro area, I hope you drive off the road before you kill someone.

Back when I was driving around the country like an idiot, truck stops sold "night driving glasses" that were tinted yellow. Aside from looking a certain type of cool, the yellow tint really did make headlights easier on the eyes.

If it’s cold they could be worried about black ice. I know a few spots by me and always drive slower on cold days in those areas. Sorry to anyone behind me lol! Feel free to pass. It’s not worth crashing to gain an extra five minutes in travel time.

I'm not sure there's a problem with high beams on the Interstate if there aren't cars around you for a couple hundred yards...

Don't understand the downvotes. I'm speaking the truth. You can't react quick enough at speeds over 60mph with only low beams on, it's literally physically impossible.

However, I rarely use high beams up in Vermont because the traffic is so much more than I remember growing up. It's on/off/on/off every 5 seconds.

People in this state drive like there is a foot of snow on the road when its clear as could be. I just pass people and move on with my life. Its easier for everyone.

Vermont needs more dirt roads.

The only interstate I could see being added, but honestly I would fight it, would be extending 93 to meet with 89 up by Swanson/st Albany’s.

We don’t need more interstates. They fucked up a lot of farms when they were first put in, some close friends of mine included.

Edit. st Albany’s is probably my favorite autocorrect I’ve had in awhile. Obviously meant St. Albans. Haha

High speed?

Meanwhile my 2018 Forester low beams are so dim I sometimes can't tell if they're actually on until I see them reflected on something. I spent money on fog lights because I need them at this time of year. High beams are great, though!

My Tundra has a dial adjustment on the dash so if I am carrying a heavy load and the cab is pointed slightly upward, I can adjust the lights downward. Good idea.

I tried to leave the Zamboni life, but the Zamboni life won't leave me.

not sure why you were downvoted.. lol here's an upvote.

Yup, just need a long Phillips head and you can adjust them. I had trucks flash me, knew it was to high

Fair. I don't think my desire to drive the speed limit as a general flow of traffic is unreasonable though, I admittedly am one of the ones going 20 over when I don't have traffic holding me back though.

Far too many people put LED bulbs into housings that were not designed for them, which scatters light in all directions rather than focusing it down towards the ground. Its both illegal and stupid, but there is no enforcement on either of those two things.

I high beam everyone right back. It is a bit of a fuck you, but at the same time its communicating "hey, your lights are blinding me. Please fix that." I recently bought a new (used) vehicle, and for the first few weeks I was getting high beamed frequently. I adjusted the lights (which were aimed quite high) and haven't been high beamed since.

It seems like everyone in Vermont wants to drive either 20mph over or 20mph under the speed limit at all times and are adamant that driving that way proves they're a real Vermonter.

It drives me insane how many people drive on the interstate with their bright lights on. It is like you said. Some people have automatic lights and don’t bother adjusting themselves which is annoying. Others can’t see well and think of you are a few car lengths in front of them l it’s on.

Some people just don’t care.

It's not just Vermont, and it's not just highbeams. Witness: /r/fuckyourheadlights/

My new Tacoma has automatic high beams. It's awesome. Basically you just turn them on and the sensor detects any light source within their rangep and automatically turns them off and turns them back on as soon as that source goes away.

I have terrible night vision and hate driving at night. It makes me super self conscious about having my high beams on because I know how much I hate it in the other side.

Auto high beams are a godsend and I can't imagine not having them now.

I owned Doc Comi’s house for a short time. The neighbors told me that he had vegetable gardens that were legendary!

Hey I own a subaru at least 😂
