I've see the light.
1000000 candle power shot strait into my brain from the car in front of me
while driving at night.
I was not tailgating. It was kids just out goofing off. I could not see
anyting but white so I held the whell and applied the brakes until I came to
a stop. About then they turned off the light and scapered off.
Not funny then, sort of funny now. Not recommend for resposible adults.
