I was at first thinking that I should have aligned myself behind him where he could see my in his drivers mirror, but realized that would not have helped today, from all the dew on this side and back windows. He would have never seen me anyways. I assume he was trying to trip the light by moving around.
Welcome to the forums, and thanks for the story! Amazing what some drivers do...
