Rear sunshade good for roadrage

Just a few minutes ago I was on a remote stretch of highway. I was cruising @ 75 MPH when a truck going about 55 MPH suddenly switched lanes in front of me. We were the only cars in sight. I flashed my highbeams and changed lanes to go around him. He flew up behind me and turned on his highbeams. I just hit the sunshade button. He got pissed and started flashing his lights etc.

This seems to be the norm in San Antonio, people will change lanes in front of you forcing you to slow down when there is no one in front of them, behind them, and no exit coming up....

I saw a video once where someone used white tape to spell F*CK OFF on a rear sunshade and would extend it when someone was tailgating lol

That worked for me once. I was passing a guy on Route 17, and when I got back in front of him he decided to turn on his high beams. Sunshade did a nice nice of keeping me from being too blinded. Also was good for before my friend got new headlights for his Ford Ranger since his original ones were aimed way too high and he wouldn't fix them because he said it was a major job to adjust them down.

Thats awesome! I just need to get ahold of a rear deck and I can install the sunshade in my max. I'm almost tempted to modify my rear deck but I don't think its worth the hassle when one is already made for this lol.

That's a good way to get shot by a pissed off driver, there are plenty of sick people with guns, so I'd recommend to not do anything like that

To me that's a way toget tailgaters out of my rear bumper...them slow down and they can't see passed your car. It also helps that I have tinted rear windows.

I agree though its better to get passed be a road rager than get involved with one, you reach your destination eventually and on time.

I honestly think here in San Antonio they need to focus more on people who cause roadrage then the the ones who have it. Solve the cause then deal with the effect if needed. I have seen slow minorities driving 50mph in a 70 in the far left lane. A guy was behind and honked and flashed his lights. The cop pulled him over. I was was so mad!

I love this video though:
