You are driving on an open highway.You are with your friends.Just then a narrow lane comes.You don't bother much and keep driving the way you were doing minutes before.Suddenly a big truck comes from front and lights hit your eyes,you are blinded by the lights,you get hyper and tense,you try to save your car and yourself thats why you take a sharp turn and try to get away from the line of truck.Suddenly everything comes to rest and you see that everyone is safe except your car which is now almost impossible to recognize.You are nowhere at fault but still you have to bear with loss just because some idiot forgot to dim his lights.This thing is just like a razor that cut right through you
Guys did anyone else also suffered this..?

Nope, I can't say that it's happened to me either. But I can see how it could easily happen, because I've been in the car many times before at night when the bright lights of another car make me go blinded for a bit.
Sometimes we flash our high beams for a couple quick flashes to let them know that their high beams are on, and that usually makes them remember to turn them back down to normal lights so that you aren't blinded.
The only thing is, every time I go to flash my lights at someone I always remember the urban legend where the person would wait for the first person to flash their lights at them and then they'd pull a U-Turn and chase them down to make them get in an accident.
That legend always scared me, so when I think about flashing my lights to remind someone that they have their high beams on, sometimes my fear gets the better of me and I chicken out and don't flash my lights lol...

I have never had an accident due to this but have passed many people on the road since i have been driving who do not dip their lights, luckily so far no accident has occured. i always slow down and flash my lights at them to show them that they haven't dipped usually they dip when they see me flashing my lights.
