Can't do that while on the road, the trucker in this case was being a monumental asshat. That trucker is probably causing all kinds of fucked up dangerous situations at other times acting like that.

Well, yes, which is why the person pointed out how easy it was to solve before getting on the road.

Like yes, the trucker is an asshole too, but they aren't the one that created the circumstance to begin with. They contributed, absolutely. Still not responsible.

Having a light that's off and slightly blinding one mirror on the person in front is no where near as bad as blocking two lanes and blinding 10 other cars behind you. The trucker is by far the larger asshole, and way more dangerous on the road, in all of this.

Again, not the point. Trucker being an asshole has no bearing on the idea that OP could have done more on their end.

The point making is, that the trucker is making a slightly annoying situation caused by a misaligned light, incredibly dangerous with his behavior.

Driving with a misaligned light is a nuisance, but not inherently dangerous. Of course should still be fixed, it's not OK. Blocking multiple lanes and deliberately turning on highly blinding spotlight on several cars behind you is fucking insane behavior and incredibly dangerous. His reaction is completely disproportionate and ahould be punished much more severely, the trucker clearly has road rage issues acting like that.

Hate to put it to you, but the DMV demands, and the laws back that up, that you are responsible for your vehicle, and that it should be up to spec before it gets on the road.

Fix it tickets are real.

He knew it was wrong before getting on the road. Also, he could've pulled over and fixed it on the shoulder.
