I wrote about almost hitting this dumb F in an dark street late one evening several years ago on my way to pick up my kid from his friend's. All black, hoodie, slowing walking toward the big street. I drive fast and almost killed the SOB. Nope, I wouldn't have felt bad.

I live in the hills with very narrow streets often hair pin like. One night, someone decided to put out their trash into the street. I was driving my Duramax truck and the turning diameter is no better then an aircraft carrier so I knocked down their trash. I had to spend couple mins picking up. Pissed and always looking for a solution, I decided to empty my piggy bank and bought some Rigid driving lights. they shoot straight as well as on the side. I just aim them lower then normal. Not street legal but they are great lights and I sometimes keep them on but no flash from on coming drivers due to their aim. I can see wall off into the corners way before I make the turn. 30-40 degrees into the darkness. I only know of another company, Baja Design, also make something similar. My Rigid driving or fogs ran about 350 for the pair. I just flip a switch and its daylight about 40' in front of me close to aobut 180 degrees.
