The trucks will often flash their lights as well, often blinding drivers of sedans and smaller SUVs due to height difference and poor regulations for headlight height.
I’ve been in situations like that, where I was more than happy to pull over and let them pass, but I missed all the safe spots because I couldn’t see them while being blinded. I had to drive slower because they made it harder to see ahead on dangerous mountain roads, too. Bloody idiots.
I want a mirror whose only purpose is to force SUVs to turn off their high beams. Somebody’s gonna be blinded either way; better it be brief than constant.
I find the night mode on my rear view does okay at reducing the high beams light, but my side mirrors become blindingly bright if they get hit at the right angle.
They can flash their lights as much as they like, when I am cycling I don’t have mirrors so I won’t even see it. Then they start revving. Yeah I don’t care. I am here, won’t kill you to wait for the children to finish crossing the road.
In Europe, its either a BMW or a Porsche, like this behind you. Blinking their lights, ever there is no space for you to move.

At least those I can rotate back up at the offender.
