I feel like I'm watching NASCAR.
Up and down Hwy 2 in Alberta they do this as well. Only ... I had a relatively small vehicle compared with what 90% of the other drivers on Hwy 2 drive. Mine was a Taurus stationwagon. Theirs were all huge SUVs and pickup trucks. So their lights would shine right in my back window and light up the entire back of my station wagon as they sat inches away from my bumper. Talk about blinding! I couldn't see where I was going!! If a deer had jumped out, I would have hit it, and they would have hit me because I couldn't see.
Hwy 2 is a highway with two lanes in each direction so these monstrosities could easily have passed me. I couldn't figure out why on earth they wouldn't. Sometimes I'd have to slow way down before they'd finally go roaring past me.
