What is the episode’s opening premise and who are the three people featured?
I was driving home from work and traffic was backed up pretty badly for a few miles. It was all stop and go. When I get stuck in that. I'll usually back about 75 feet off the car in front of me so that I can hold a pace and move at a slow but constant roll, sort of like semi-trucks do. This way, I'm not participating in the bumper to bumper move and break like the rest of the smooth brain drivers out here. Well, some dude in an Acura crossover was behind me. And I guess he was getting upset because I wasn't two feet from the car in front of me. So in one fell swoop, he gets up on my butt and starts beeping his horn at me. I can't help but to LOL to myself as I turn up the radio. But then he starts flashing his brights at me, which this is where I get annoyed.
He's in one of those Acaras that has the super bright LED headlights. My car is much lower than his, so his low beams are already pretty bright in my mirrors. Bright enough that I don't want to look straight into them. The first time he flashed his high beams, it put spots in my vision for a good few moments. It genuinely hurt my eyes. Well after that first flash he waits about ten seconds, beeps his horn, and then flashes me again. Now my low-level annoyance is turning into straight pissed off. I'm thinking, where the f do you want me to go? Do you really think being two feet from the car in front of you will make traffic move faster? That's when he flashes me a third time, but this time He held them on for about fifteen seconds.
Okay. Time for the gloves to come off. During those 15 seconds as I'm looking away from my mirrors, I see my 14,000 lumen searchlights sitting in my passenger seat. At which point I'm immediately overcome by a wave of chaotic, lawful excitement. What this driver has just set in motion? Cannot be stopped. I think to myself, Ho ho, buddy. You just opened the wrong can of worms. You're gonna learn today.
How did the driver use a high‑lumens flashlight to retaliate against the aggressive Acura driver?
I grabbed the flashlight and set it to its absolute max. fourteen thousand lumen brightness settings. The flashlight has a sensor in it to automatically dim the light if facing down on a table, because otherwise the diodes would get so hot that they could melt the lens. The 14,000 lumen setting is so intense that the 57 watt hour battery can only hold it for a maximum of 180 seconds before the flashlight automatically notches down. to a measly ninety five hundred lumens. During those three minutes though? The light will burn through fifteen percent of its battery power. For reference on just how bright this is. The literal fing sun emits a luminosity of eleven thousand lumens per square foot on a bright and clear day.
I turn around and aim it straight out the back of my rear window. My car is pretty noisy, so before I turn it on, I rev up my engine and make sure Captain Smoothbrain is eyes forward. When I violate his retinas with the full force of an afternoon sun. I hit the power button and can only imagine the freight train of shock and pain that plowed over this man. It was so bright his automatic headlights shut off because The car thought that it was daytime. With the light on, I could see him clear as glass through his tinted windshield. He was covering his eyes and now looking down. Probably screaming. I watched him try and flip down his sun visor, but his hand couldn't find it. As I thought to myself Burn you mother f
Burn. I imagine my facial expression was similar to that of a six-year-old roasting insects with a magnifying glass. After about five seconds of blinding light? I took mercy on his soul and shut it off. He then proceeded it back. weigh the hell off, and even move over to a different lane. Now was this an unsafe thing for me to do? Absolutely. Was it illegal though? Yeah, almost certainly. But was it warranted? Without a question. Probably the highlight of my year. So to those of you out there, drive safe. And don't be a dick to the car in front of you. Because they might just have the tools to teach you a lesson. Also, if you need a link to your own fourteen thousand lumen flashlight. Go ahead, send me a message.
