The very existence of these trucks is a failure in regulation

I'm getting flashbacks to Alberta, where my small 2L Subaru would get trailed 5 feet behind me on the highway by the new 2025 Ford F6950 Super Duty 18L V12 turbo diesel where the owner has also added the brightest blue HID's known to man that happen to be at the perfect hight to blind me after they've lifted the truck to help remove the exhaust system and replace it with a system designed to produce thick black exhaust for rolling coal as they pass me going 30 over the limit.

Some guy was doing that to me when I was driving on a mountain. The asshole made me run over a marmot. I was so sad. I couldn’t brake or turn anywhere.

RIP Harambarmot. Sweet rodent prince

If he drives that mountain with any regularity there's a high chance that truck is upside down in a ravine by now

It's kinda ironic that you have to drive slower because you're half blind, which will end up in the trucknuts enjoyer being slowed as well.

You may not be able to while driving but if you have a passenger have them guide your rear-vision mirror to reflect their lights back at their face.
