You know, I've thought about getting one of those obnoxiously bright, completely unfocused LED lights bars.
And mounting it on the back.
Do it. I did and it's fucking hilarious getting revenge on these people. They get so mad lol
Just don't make the mistake I did and do it to a cop (it was at night so I couldn't see what kind of car it was; all I saw was tailgating headlights). Thankfully he had a sense of humor about it.
Yeah I'd end up eating a curb with my self-control around cops.
Also, don't forget to turn them off. I was on the road at about 3:30am this morning and initially thought there was a wrong way driver. It took about 20 seconds to realize it wasn't getting any closer and figure out what it actually was: a guy in a jeep had them installed on a roof rack.
I had mine installed in the rear window, so if I left it on it would be very obvious. Installing a rear-facing light on a light bar where you can't see it is a really bad idea.
You will be the one pulled over and ticketed, even if you aren't actually using it.
I got pulled over and the cop didn't give a single shit about the light, even though I blasted him with it (I thought they were a tailgater). I only got a ticket for speeding.
So it really depends. Thankfully (or unfortunately) most cops aren't familiar with the law.
Wow, that's wild! Glad you got off though.
I don't know about the second part, but yeah, using it is definitely illegal on the road.
Really depends on the cop, since they can pull you over and/or ticket you for any or no reason. Whether it stands in court is another story, but you gotta take it to court for that to matter. And if they just say it was on when it wasn't, it would be difficult to prove.
Having them installed is legal as far as I know because they're legal for off road use.
Yeah. That's what I meant. As long as you don't use them to blind other drivers. Even if it is just for the lulz.
Hit em with the uno reverse!
My buddy had an Audi A4, probably a 2003, and one of the features was just this bright ass light that you could turn on that pointed backwards. He had another Audi after that didn't have it, never really seen one with it, other than that. It was great for dealing with tailgaters.
Rear fog light? Ive had a few with that. Makes me feel betterhaving that on in blizzards.
