    That works. Also, back when I delivered pizza I kept a rather large LED flashlight in my cupholder all the time, ostensibly for spotting mailboxes and house numbers. (This was back in the day when having a powerful LED flashlight was a big deal, not like nowadays when you can get 3 for $10 on Amazon or whatever.) Pointing it out the back window usually got the point across when asshats felt the need to sit three feet off my back bumper and shine their high beams at me.

      Shit if I find myself night commuting again on back roads I might have to keep such a flashlight in my car. I’ve had so many trucks light up my entire fucking cabin with their illegal light mods

        My attorney has advised me to make no statements whatsoever regarding the applicability of the Lumintop Thor Mini I just bought the other week, which outputs a mere 250 lumens but does so in a narrow cone that’s got, to my reckoning, a divergence of only about four or five degrees.

        I’ll have to do some measuring later, but at rear-windshield-to-asshole distance it’ll only throw a spot that’s probably about a foot wide, delivering maximum fuck you with a minimum of collateral damage.

          that’s pretty expensive for 250 lumens. i can get 500 for a third the price.

            In an LEP light? A regular LED, sure. But those lack the novelty of being able to lance somebody in the face with a laser beam.
