Hello esteemed commenters. I have a question about a situation I experienced a couple nights ago. I left work late, and 1/2 way into my commute, I nearly change lanes into the back of a Honda CRV (I believe) which was just running on its daytime running lights. Dim little lights up front, no corners lit, no tails, just the DRLs. I flashed my flashers, my high beams, my brights (seperate from highs in my car), turn my lights on and off, and drove next to him signaling with my hand. All he did was give me the finger, slam on his brakes and slow down (in the left lane just to top the list of his lack of road courtesy), in that order. Like them or not is a previously discussed topic, but what do you think about DRL’s and how should I have tried to get this gentleman to turn his real lights on? And to expand on this, how do you signal to somebody when they are creating a dangerous situation or bad manners in general, without resorting to road rage and fake police lights?

What do to with DRL Night Drivers

And you might also get run off the road by some raging maniac that is offended by all the fuss.
