I had to come to a stop on a major highway because I couldn't see due to led highbeams, was I in the wrong?
(for context, I drive a shit ev, I let the windscreen fog up to a certain point where it is still safe to see because running the defrost uses 10% of my battery life as it runs the a/c and heater even if I unlight the buttons for them. when it gets too fogged, I will run it for 30 seconds to clear it up)

>4 lane major highway
>driving exactly the speed limit in the second from right most lane (righthand traffic country)
>lifted vehicle with bright white led lights in the far distance going 1% faster
>minutes pass
>lifted truck now 1 car length off my bumper
>instead of simply passing at a safe distance, they turn on their high beams
>fogged windscreen becomes completely opaque
>gently slow down while trying to maintain lane position using side windows
>truck continues to run high beams and gets closer, making the situation worse
>manage to turn on defrost but it takes a few seconds for it to clear the windscreen
>come to a complete stop
>visibility improves, accelerate back up to speed limit
>truck or whatever stays far back until turning off later
it was late at night and there was very little traffic, the lane to the left of me was also clear, i dont understand why they do this.
And the right most lane is given up and exits in a few minutes too.

You should lose your license.
>>
You should open the windows if you need to dehumidify your car fast
And please dont be a danger to other people on the road, leave the defroster on. This is fuckin third world mentality.

>I let the windscreen fog up to a certain point where it is still safe to see
clearly it wasn't safe, fucking retard. get off the road forever, you're a danger to everyone.
>>
At that point its cheaper to buy some snake oil
Like Rain X Anti Fog.
>>
>>28108936
Next time pull off to the side of the road and put your hazard indicators on

I can see perfectly fine until someone breaks the law by following too close, breaks the law by using unproved headlamp bulbs, and breaks the law by using highbeams too close behind another vehicle.
They broke 3 or 4 laws in place to prevent this exact situation.
>>
>>28108955
Ok even so, you should report him to the police, but still be able to drive safely.
There is in general basically no reason in a perfectly functioning car to ever have to come to a complete stop on a highway. Even if the guy behind you is flashing his high beams.
You learn your lesson to not just let your windshield fog up to a certain amount...
>>
>>28108955
You are a hazard on the fucking road, like a cyclist trying to use normal roads and stating that the law lets you do it. Fuck off.

Pull off the fucking road or trade in your cuck mobile.
>>
>>28108955
it's not about the law, dumbass. you should be able to drive safely even if other people around you are being cunts.
>>
>>28108978
do you wear laser protective goggles?
what is someone drives behind you and starts pointing a 1w laser at all your mirrors?
same issue.
>>
Please stop driving completly
>>
>>28108989
I will continue to slow down and come to a stop if they still dont pass when tailgated by pickups with bright led headlights. :)
>>
>>28108936
>cruising second from right most lane
this is where you became at fault morally
>driving EV
>refuse to use defogging because muh battery life
this is where you would have been at fault legally had something happened. It is your legal responsibility to maintain your vehicle in operable condition with a clear view while driving
>didn't pull over, just stopped
this would also have likely assigned you legal fault had an accident occurred
>>
>>
>>28108944
Chinkish EVs make us all into third world men
>>
>shit ev
It is not necessary to denote that your mobile storage device is shit, as all electric vehicles are shit and we already know this.
>>
>>28108936
You're a retard for buying an EV.
>>
>>28108983
You should be prepared to deal with common hazardous situations, retard. Headlights are bright now and people tailgate, so crack the windows next time and learn to fucking deal with it because that isn't going to change. You have the same mentality as pedestrians that get smeared by cars because they had the "right of way."
>b-but muh law
Doesn't change that you're now dead because you couldn't be assed to do the bare minimum of self preservation. Fucking moron.
>>
>>28109032
nah, I think I will just slow down for tailgaters and when i cant see because thats what the driving laws say to do. When they get crashed into from behind, the police will examine their headlamps and find illegal led lamps and send them to jail
>>
>>28109042
>heh, I may have died in that accident I caused, but at least the guy who hit me will get in trouble
>>
>>28109052
getting into an accident in a car that can 0-60 in 4 seconds would be a skill issue
>>
>>28109019
This is based and it’s a shame she lost her appeal.
>>
this is hilarious. god EVs are so fucking stupid.
>>
>>28108999
Kek some retarded prius driver came to a conplete stop on the side of the highway after I followed them with my highbeams on because they were driving with theirs on.
Why are you faggots in shitty slow commodity commuter cars so fucking retarded goddamn
>>
>>28109138
Oh yeah I forgot the point of the story. I just stopped right behind the prius on the side of the highway with my highbeams on lol. Goddamn you fags are such pussies it's insane
>>
>>28108936
>I had to come to a stop on a major highway
kys immediately.
>>
>>28109054
this thread is based on exactly that skill issue
>>
>>28108955
>I'm not breaking the law by not having adequate visibility from my front windshield
>it's the other driver's fault!
All EVfags are like this.
