I'm with CaliSuby on this one. He stated the truck followed him when he changed lanes, and the Saturn was going basically the same speed as the lane to the right.
Do you **** of the truck further by going even slower than the Saturn and possibly cause excess road rage? He's already pissed since he's high beaming him. Or do you pass the Saturn and give the truck enough space to overtake the Saturn and move to the left, then lower your speed back to the speed limit.
Unfortunately, the ticket you received was the above the 65 mph speed, which I have no idea how to fight. Good luck with this one.
Oh yeah.... DON'T THROW **** OUT OF YOUR CAR. I don't care how light it is, a solid object moving at 60+ mph can do a ton of damage.

According to the OP, no one else (except the Saturn in front and the truck behind) was around. Not sure how you believe a 2 oz. weight against his windshield is going to endanger their life. Will it crack his windshield? Yup, there's a good chance of that. Will it shatter his windshield and blind him with glass shards blowing through his face, rendering him blind and incapable of operating his vehicle? Nope, not a very good chance of that.
Suggesting something stupid and then following up with "I would never do that" is just silly. Don't even suggest it if you're just going to contradict yourself later. Unless you're running for political office or something, then that would be the norm.

I agree that tossing weights, however small, out your car window isn't the greatest idea. I mean it freaks me out when rocks fly up by accident, let alone intentionally. It would cause damage to the car behind you either via a cracked windshield if you are going fast enough, dents in the car, it could hit the pavement and bounce up under it and getting lodged some where. What if their dog was haning out the window, as my Cassie frequently does, and the weight hits them in the head? I would be more devistated at that than my car getting a ding, but either would competely **** me off. And if this guy was a tail gaiter and intentionally threw on his high beams, that is generally a good indicator that he/she isn't the most laid back driver in the world.
I hope it isn't too expensive for you Those suck! I had to pay one for $500 once. No bueno

^^^ This is a good technique. The other trick I use is braking! When he's right on my *** i do a series of short braking to **** the driver off-
After that they usually back off or speed around! Next time if someone flashes their high beams at you to go faster just do the opposite go slower

KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS!

By the way, just so everyone is clear, it is illegal to be throwing objects out of your car and hitting other motorists. It can be written up many ways but if you ever got caught doing it, it will be a big fine.
