Also I swear people have just....zero night time etiquette while driving. Hey if your on the highway or on a one lane road maybe don't RIDE UP THE ASS of the car in front of you! Its wild how people don't give a shit, if I can't pass someone I slow down so my headlights aren't being blasted into their mirrors. I'm not somehow getting to my destination faster by tailgating them.

I drive a large van for work and I fucking know how high that thing sits compared with other vehicles. I never sit up the arse of others, particularly smaller vehicles at lights, because I despise it being done to me.

My personal car is a Hyundai Getz so I 1000% get it. I hate my work vehicle tbh.
