I've been known to (under the cover of darkness) sneak out in my red babe. Described by some jealous blokes as a jalopy. My car's got character I say. Integrity. Dedication. A drinking problem. I also possess an affection for long nocturnal journeys in mee car fostered by a constant diet of late-night jaunts in early life.
Picture this. Me driving. Midnight. Highway. Singing song (called braying by same jealous people). Suddenly I see the light. End-of-tunnelesque proportions. Panic. Sweat. Blinded. I can almost hear the angels playing their award-winning harps. Suddenly power cut. No shining. Can see again.Will live. Whoop of joy from night-time-drive-liker. But. Again comes this damned thing. Again and again. Where's the joy?
Its the midnight road salute. Bring on the high-beam. Watch the blue bullet on your display. See your innocent(read me) opponent squirm. Laugh. Gloat.Fart. Whatever. Its a fashion that will never die. A fad that will never fade.
Remember that poor rabbit. Who couldn't move. Caught in your powerful rays of unnecessity. Same one paralyzed by your luminescence. I was the bunny now. Call me Bugs.
Prophylaxis. Wore dark goggles. Dead of the night. Stepped out for rendezvous. Neighbor walking dog saw me. He laughed uncontrollably. Fell off the fourth floor. Suing me for mirth-induced damages. See. A little misdirected light.
The best combo for this madness. Driver A hits the beam. Driver B can't take this affront to ego. Beams back. Nice. Wonder why so many accidents on road? Its like countries nuking each other. One at a time. Canceling things out.
Bad habit. Lose it already.

Blinding flash of light.
Screech of tyres.
Scent of burning rubber.
White knuckles on the wheel(yours)
Loud chuckle out of a rolled down window(theirs)
Quite a "beamer" eh.
No visible injuries,but oh it ran over a raw nerve bundle.
Get a chauffeur I say.

Lepus timidus indeed.
Deer caught in the headlights even.

Lol @ Veena.

Waiting for next post.
lol@Veena translates to Laughs Out Loud at Veena....poor poor veejo
the 'beam' show!!
always happens....and i guess almost everywhere.
they put on the high beam round the corner and forget to put it off...and i gotta put my beam at them in a way to say "there's your headlight and it's makin' my head dizzy...turn it off"...but nooo! ppl seem to have ray-ban contact lenses.
other case is approach near and flash the beam. :D
i also observed that it's much more painful/troublesome to drive if someone puts on high beam on your face and u're wearing specs.
I dont mind being laughed at Bonjo..I have that thing they call a 'Sans of humour' ;)
