tbh its idiots like you who are causing a lot of the problems on the roads, all this "I slow down" blah blah, your not an authority so stop trying to police the roads, the amount of times I get stuck in traffic on the motorway because some fool has decided its there job to keep the outside lane to 70 mph

i don't sit in the outside lane on a motorway at 70mph you idiot whenever i'm on a motorway i get the go faster bug 
if you read my reply correctly you will see i only ever do it when someone if behind me with full beam on, i put my rear fogs on then off to warn them then if they take no notice i just slow right down. not going to move every single mirror as this is dangerous, so is not being able to see due to glare from the full beam behind...

I didn't say you did it on a motorway I mean people with your mentality who decide the best way to deal with someone else being inconsiderate is to be inconsiderate themselves.
By slowing down to annoy them I can't see how you are any different to people driving with fog lights / high beams on, why not go and sit down and read the highway code.
I agree that people driving with the wrong lights on is annoying but just ignore it, bar forcing them off the road, jumping out and physically flicking that switch there is nothing you can do about it so ignore it and get on with driving your own car !
