High beaming while signalling

I really HATE that it's hard to quickly high-beam a car while you're signalling left/right. It does work, but you have to really pull it, and it feels like it's gonna break off.

Quite often I feel the need to high beam some idiot in front of me, but if the signal is activated it doesn't engage all that easily... which usually pisses me off even more than before I felt the need to high beam someone.

but yea, just a morning rant. Does this exist with later models as well?

i've never tried this, why would you need to do it?

i'll give it a shot on the way home today lol. I'm quite hesitant to man-handle that stalk, they are fuckin expensive to replace. On my old Ford Explorer, i think I paid almost $400 to replace mine when it gave out

haha never used it eh? I'm not a very nice driver. One place a nice person may use it is when you're at a 4-way stop and you're turning left... but for whatever reason want the person in front of you to go first... so you give them a little high beam indicator to let them know to go ahead.

For me, it's more like the dick in the oncoming lane going through a light is not signalling that he's turning right, and so I wait for him patiently to make my left onto a 2-3 lane street... so I want to high beam his ass to let him know he's wronged me.

Why not try anger management instead?
