*modern pickups are common offenders, often for false beliefs such as "my properly aimed headlights are fine", when they are in fact not fine all the time because roads are not flat and smooth.

Not to harp, but roads not being smooth is a problem for all lights, not just pickups. If I’m behind someone, even close, my headlights are pointed below their rear window, I watch for where the line cuts off so as to intentionally not blind people. I’m high up and am often still blinded by any number of cars behind me though.

I totally agree that many truck drivers are assholes, and there’s a shitton of assholes with the squat and lifts and shit who never adjust them. Those are the ones to get mad at.

I'm not claiming it's limited to pickups. I equally hate sedan drivers who do that shit.

Do you haul lots of stuff with your truck? It sounds like you do. Therefore, you're not just some asshole who buys a truck for the 'manliness' factor. Good on you for choosing a vehicle that suits your needs.

Those who only ever haul groceries or frat boys are the ones who shouldn't be driving trucks.
