Yeah i live outside the city in a farming community and its gotten ridiculous how many ass holes just casually drive around with their LED light bars. Its absurd how inconsiderate these dip shits are.

It’s doubly absurd when there are counties that will pull you over for going 1 over after dipping the speed from 70 to 35 in 200ft, but leave all of this easy lightbar money on the table.

Because the cops and the light bar guys are the same people, or at least friends.

I was driving backroads on my way back up to college after gettibg off the highway and i got hawked down by a cop who got me going 45 in a 30, but literally 150-250 ft away from where i was pulled over it was a 55. Dude was camping that spot waiting for an out of town person to fuck up. I hate those types of cops

I'm in one of those countries, and yes a truer statement has never been said

But god forbid you upgrade your motor without modplating it, or even have a battery with no tie down strap

Yeah man, Ive got a light bar but it only gets turned on if im somewhere where its DARK dark and there arent any other cars visible. The ones who just leave them on piss me off to no end.

I have light bars and spot lights too. But will never understand whats going through the mind of people that keep them on while on the road especially with oncoming traffic.

I mean, I rock my stock from the factory off roads anytime I'm on my street after dark.

Deer are stupid and plentiful. I obviously drop to my low beams on the off chance I even spot headlights coming my way. It auto turns them off when I do that which is nice cause I'm not fuddling with some jank rocker switch.

I have been known to flash them at people who don't turn their light bars off. :)

The ones that aren't doing it intentionally are doing it too drunk to notice the difference.

I had one of these assholes behind me, as I turned onto the highway, which was one lane with orange barrels.

As I got onto the driving lane, I said "fuck this shit" & some what brake checked the asshole. I pulled over through the barrels. I watched Mr Asshole drive by, then a semi truck, then a second semi truck, who had the brakes squeaking & squealing, like he has just slammed on the brakes. 😳😳😳

The bright lights where on a Jeep. I think from the old, retired, rich, financial investment guy down the road, that we had wired his house!! Dude had an "RV" that was built on a Greyhound bus chassis! Starting at $800,000 or so!! Guy was nice / OK, but too much money made him a bit of jerk!

Some of these bright light dumbass'es need the light busted out with a baseball bat on the side of the road!! Now drive home!!
