If this thread was referencing another one, I didn't see it.

This thread was bad, and you should feel bad.

That's the only way to do it.

Somebody help this man!

Actually, I am currently driving right now but it's okay because I am looking down at my laptop so the lights won't blind me.

You need to start with these:


So that you can see the road but then at times you can't...need to start slow.

Just remember when driving by the force - there is no try, there is only turn or turn not.

I was in an accident because I was blinded by headlights from an oncoming vehicle but would not get involved with the children here because everyone here has there own childish agenda.

Well if you don't want to be blinded get a vehicle that is like 10ft off the ground and you won't have to worry about it. Or better yet wear your sun glasses at night.
