I wouldn't say you were being a jerk, just an asshole. If you don't want
to sound like a jerk, don't call me a dumbass. There are deer all over
the roads out here, I leave my driving lights on all the time, even when
I am on the highway. The driving lights tend to go out a little further,
just enough to catch the shine off a deers eye so I can see it. I know I
can use my high beams, but not when there is oncoming traffic. Thank you
for the procedure, but please, next time keep the rude comments to
yourself . Anyone who tries to shoot out my fog lights will get shot
themselves. No bull. Hope you don't plan on visiting Texas soon, we are
a very trigger happy bunch.
