My comment about our Miata experience wasn't meant to attack drivers of any
specific type of vehicle; it was simply an observation that brighter lights are
unlikely to make a difference with inattentive drivers. Defensive caution is
what I try to do, but in the instance I described, it was in stop and go traffic
and the other driver was a dolt.
This morning, while driving from Cheshire to New Haven via I91, in my Neon R/T,
a woman behind me driving a Ford Escape (?) was talking on a cell phone in her
left hand, with her right hand gesticulating every important point she was
making, and all along her eyes were diverted from the road as her head bobbed
around with each emphatic point as well.
Like Richard, I moved over. Yikes. What was she steering with?
