Feel free to write a response haiku advocating for blinding your fellow drivers.

😅 well, I was booing the people shining the high beams, not your haiku, so, if I wrote a response haiku, that wouldn’t be it.

Who knows but as one who drives a smaller vehicle those big trucks with lights blaring in my rear view are a tad distracting.

Yeah, I drive a little hybrid and even when the trucks aren’t using their high beams they’re glaring when tailgating.

Haha, their parents did definitely not raise them to be road rascals🙄

I bet the parents told them to be considerate but showed them otherwise. That’s why we poets always say, “Show. Don’t tell.”

Agreed but we need to self-aware because it’s really hard for someone to offer suggestions at 55mph.
