    Road hogs. I encounter one at least weekly. They are not in the center of their lane, going slower than the rest, sometimes between 2 lanes. When I try to overtake, some of them speed up instead of giving way then back to their ways. I suspect they are using their phones.

    So I just discovered this new hashtag: 今日のプリウス

    As it turns out, the car of choice for "kamotes" in Japan is the Prius. They even have a hashtag specifically used for uploading pictures/videos of idiots in Priuses (how do you pluralize that? lol). It's translated as "today's Prius", suggesting that these encounters are pretty common!

    A Japanese friend of mine hates those Prius because they usually drive slow in order for the car to use the battery instead of gas.

    locally,
    probably borne out of yesterdecades' automotive generators.
    automobile generators, before alternators, were known for under-charging the car battery, when driven at slower speed.
    not using the headlights back then, was a common practice believed to lessen the battery's discharge rate.
    as late as the 60s, car batteries were de rigueur re-charged regularly by external battery chargers, to keep them healthy.

    and yes,
    not everybody remembers that an important function of the headlights, is to warn the other motorists that there is a moving car out there that occupies space and has to be avoided.

    btw,
    i personally have observed that, at night, a number of car bumper lights, are actually even more glaring than their headlights.
    while the low-beam headlights are traditionally aimed low, some bumper lights are either aimed straight horizontally, or their reflectors are not designed to contain glare.
    someone here pointed out some time ago, that big T's bumper lights are notorious for this. is it the factory bumper lights, or is it the owner-upgraded version...?
