    Not directly relevant, but: I live in a neighborhood that is not really great for walking since it has no sidewalks. It’s especially not great for walking at night since there are very few streetlights. Nevertheless many people walk here even after sunset, and the few people who carry flashlights have developed the strategy of shining the flashlight directly into the face of an approaching driver. It has apparently never occurred to them that blinding the driver of a two-ton vehicle heading straight at them is maybe not the wisest of ideas.

    I suspect these are the same people that ride their bicycles against traffic, around blind turns, while wearing noise-canceling headphones.
