Guys be careful out there, you never know who you're going to encounter and whether or not you'll be involved in some road rage incident. Luckily high beaming and the finger was the extent of the encounter, but I had a friend get shot because of road rage. This past summer in san francisco during rush hour, in broad day light and his wife was in the car too, he got shot through the door in the chest. She told me he gave some fool the finger for cutting him off and that guy pulled up and shot him. Good thing my friend is doing ok now, but just remember that people are crazy out there so it's better to play it safe and just forget about getting back at some one for high beaming you or giving you the finger. If you want to, just give them the thumbs up!

I agree. You have to be very careful these days. Some people just don't care. I get more concerned with people in beaters that will tap my bumpers or swipe my car, just for the hell of it.

In America, with the gun culture that exists, it's somewhat risky to do that isn't it?

Don't believe what you hear in the media. This is way overplayed, but it sure sounds good and sells papers :thumbsdown:
Brabusw, you did the right thing!
I've certainly done the same thing sometimes, but here in California the CHP often cites drivers who high-beam light-up drivers ahead. It's kinda like NFL refs catching the player who simply throws a retaliatory punch and flags him...CHP may see your action, but not the original bone-head driver's action that started the whole thing.
My solution (yes I stole this idea from a stand-up comic I saw years ago): invent and distribute an "idiot sticker" gun that you can "fire" at idiots on the road whenever they put you in jeopardy. Yeah, we may all end up with a couple of idiot stickers on our vehicles, but when you see a car covered in the damn things...stay clear!

Thats why the F10 for the US market is available with twin mounted machine guns next to the fog lights. The chicago market will have these equipped standard. Now you don't have to hit them with brights.
