Like there’s a red fvcking light glowing in front of you, what else do you wanna see, my chassis?
The center mirror can be dealt with but, it’s frustrating with the side mirrors.

Especially those stupid white lights that all those new Lexus cars come with. Those lights should be banned.

Hehehe. I also get frustrated too. They'll keep their high beams turned on even when behind you at a traffic light.

For the ones behind, not a problem, one button to close my side mirrors
Those ones coming head on are the most heartless piece of human beings on earth, inside small street, person go carry full lamp point for your eye, I just do the blinking full lamp if them no code, i on my full lamp too, make all of us no get driving etiquette

I noticed it’s mostly Corolla driver that are guilty of this, are their normal headlights not bright enough to show them the way?

Full lamp is supposed to be for highway so we see way further

Another crazy set are those blasting their horn in traffic, what should I do, climb other cars so you can ?

Requires some practice:

For SUVs behind you,

Using the rear view mirror controls inside the car, slightly raise the side mirror which the glare is coming from and adjust inwards, the reflection immediately goes back to the culprit.

For saloons,

Try to target the reflection from away from you and back to the driver by adjusting the side mirrors ....

Or better still, just use the side mirror controls to raise the side mirror up.

What you're saying is very difficult as long as you're not in the driver's seat of the offending vehicle.

How can you focus your mirrors reflection back to the car behind you when you're seated in your own cars driving position?


Bro, its hard, almost nearly impossible. I have been driving for more than a decade and I know what I'm talking about.

Blowing horn on the road alone, ah, and you couldn’t find rope for him before he runs mad

That tinted glass is 100% true, my tint is very light that it’s almost transparent, so I used to think tint level didn’t matter till just last week I drove a friend’s car that was super tinted, mehn it was almost impossible to see my sides and it was at night which worsened the matter
