I mean, agree, but I’m a scout leader who towes at least monthly, had a bed full of wreaths to deliver yesterday for example.. I’m a middle aged dude with a work from home job, so all of those are indeed considerations and I do my best to be conscientious. Besides, my properly aimed headlights produce less glare than all the aftermarket, poorly aimed ones that people who think the blueish light makes them look fancier.
It’s commmts like yours though that kinda irk me. I mean, if a grey 4 wheel drive pickup, with a bunch of campground stickers offends someone, that’s not really on me. I’ll take the hate from assholes any day.
pickups don't inherently bother me. asshole vehicles of any type do - it's just that *modern pickups are common offenders, often for false beliefs such as "my properly aimed headlights are fine", when they are in fact not fine all the time because roads are not flat and smooth.
I have no problem with people using tools to get things done. I have problems with people being assholes to other people.
Not to harp, but roads not being smooth is a problem for all lights, not just pickups. If I’m behind someone, even close, my headlights are pointed below their rear window, I watch for where the line cuts off so as to intentionally not blind people. I’m high up and am often still blinded by any number of cars behind me though.
I totally agree that many truck drivers are assholes, and there’s a shitton of assholes with the squat and lifts and shit who never adjust them. Those are the ones to get mad at.
Do you haul lots of stuff with your truck? It sounds like you do. Therefore, you're not just some asshole who buys a truck for the 'manliness' factor. Good on you for choosing a vehicle that suits your needs.
Those who only ever haul groceries or frat boys are the ones who shouldn't be driving trucks.
