Depending on the angle the traffic is coming at you, you can have
properly-aligned lights and have it bother people. One of the hazards
of driving a taller vehicle. I had a guy look like he was getting
really pissed at me across an intersection b/c he thought I had my
highbeams on but really it was just the angles - I was pointed up (the
intersection was on a slope). And people behind me on hills always seem
to have their highs on but they don't really.
