Drivers aren't much of a concern, but in deference to other cyclists, it's easy enough to reach down, switch it to a dimmer mode, and nudge it downwards so it's not so direct.
I should clarify that I'm talking about the 140 with the O-ring mount -- you can re-aim it while riding and it'll stay put. The newer models with the screw mounts obviously can't do that.
