I'm sure you've seen what happens when an oncoming car comes over a rise at you. Its headlights are now aimed directly at your windshield. I live in an area with lots of rolling terrain, so this is just a fact of life. If my windshield is so dirty that this is a problem, then I better stay off the road until I get it cleaned, because it's not realistic to expect that no bright lights will evar hit my windshield.

I've read posters on this very board discussing him they would aim their DiNotte taillights directly and intentionally into driver's eyes.
And so would I. Take a look at a semi trailer with four Peterson Manufacturing Barracuda taillights, which easily put out double the power of a DiNotte 140R in brake mode. Where are those taillights aimed? Yeah. Straight back at the people who need to see them. Take a look at a police car or highway-patrol car. Where are its light-bar strobes and auxiliary strobes aimed? Yeah, you got it... straight at the people who need to see them.
