Yes, exactly.
Right after I posted, I remembered that scene.
Why don't you see that more often in movies involving car chases ?
Would it actually work ?
I had a couple of kids tailgate me at 4 in the morning going to work. They decided to play games and started shining a spotlight at me. I tipped up my mirror and kept on.
They moved to my left and started shining it in my face. I tried this trick - but gently.
It seemed to work - except that now the kids were ahead of me shining it right in my face.
I tried to pass them, but they would speed up each time all the while shining that spotlight at me.
They slammed on their brakes and had the light right in my face.
I picked up my cell phone ( which didn't even work at the time ) it seemed to scare them off.What surprised me was that I kept my cool. I almost laughed it off and went on my way.
