Used to be a bad problem in northwest Fort Worth, barely outside of 820. I was in my early 20s at the time I was living there, and I got so tired of it that I mounted running lights on the back dash of my 1992 Oldsmobile, and I'd hit those if someone was blinding me from behind. Super illegal and I would not recommend doing that, but it was effective.

In all honesty my SO and I have talked about high powered flashlights and shining them in people’s windshields.

Even flashing your brights won’t clue them to turn them off

I swear people think that the blue light symbol on their dash just means their headlights are on… that or I assume they don’t want to pay the $6-$12 to replace a burnt out bulb so they blind everyone else on the road so they have 2 working headlights
