[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that your impulse is to “punish” points to a character defect. Were you born with it or is it learned behavior?[/quote]
I’m not OP and I wouldn’t personally use the word “punish,” but yeah, it would be great to disincentivize people adding aftermarket crazy bright lights to their vehicles.[/quote]

I think I'd rather just get those yellow glasses. Y'all sound scary. [/quote]
Scary? I don’t want vigilante justice. I want the crazy bright aftermarket lights banned and I want law enforcement to fine people for having them. Cars shouldn’t pass inspection with them.[/quote]

But meanwhile, until it’s banned, you want to punish people who didn’t commit any crime and may just have the vehicle they could afford so they can get their family around in the car dependent hellscape that is all most of us could afford.

We had just moved from a lovely walkable community (that we got gentrified out of) to a close in suburb when an elderly woman T-boned me. It was 4 pm on the day before the holiday. Enterprise gave us what they had. The agent tried for thirty minutes to adjust the lights. Eventually, he just apologized and sent us on our way.

Should I have been fined? Should we just have stayed home with a ruined holiday because that was the only rental we could get after someone’s senior grandma plowed into me?
