A coupla flashes from a pair of 100W off-road lights aimed properly will
give them enough photons that they won't be able to see well enough to
shoot straight at you. This also works well on BMW drivers who leave
their aux driving lights on all the time.

Wow. That is harsh. BUT I can see your side too - you cannot do your
job because people in cars will simply not let you in. What can you do
besides inch over? That sounds like the good compromise. Now, those
