Sure, the whole world is on fire right now, but there are also little things to be upset about. ☝😉
I had a mine pickup that had a blue LED for the indicator that the buggy whip was on. That thing was a fucking laser at night, shining right into my eyeball. I eventually got fed up and made a duct tape flap to put right above it so I could still tell it was on (my feet would be blue) but my retinas would still be intact
A tall flag that attaches to your pickup. It has a light on the end.
It prevents this from happening:
Interesting, I think that is about the last thing I would have guessed but it makes sense

Yeah, it’s way worse in vehicles haha. I have an aftermarket entertainment system in my 2006 Matrix – it has three modes: Daytime colours (bright), nighttime colours (dark blue but still bright), and screen off. Highway driving at night means the only real option is screen off. I otherwise really like the system, but it seems like a huge oversight. It seems that none of the developers of these things ever actually test them in nighttime driving/working conditions.
