It'll be nice when you blind someone on a one lane road and they come head on into you.

Mine are the same way. I was planning on going to the dealer tomorrow at lunch to check on a few parts, and was going to ask them about it. Guess if it's supposed to be that way, I'll even them up anyways. I haven't looked yet, but it's pretty simple to do isn't it? Just a screwdiver and an adjustment screw, right?

Or when he crosses a guy that did the same thing and is blinded into a guardrail or a pedestrian...
