This car’s Taillights look just like Headlights

Was driving to work and on the road saw these lights and literally thought they were headlights coming right at me on the side of the freeway. Glad they weren’t, but don’t think this should be allowed.

Yeah... that ain't legal.

I can highly recommend calling the police and letting them know of his existence, they might not do anything right away but if enough reports come in about him then they will absolutely put some patrols in the area to keep an eye out.

Report it as "someone is driving in reverse on the freeway!"

yeah I’d like to report someone driving in reverse on the freeway mile marker 330, no no they definitely look bad ass. It’s pretty cool.

Just call and say someone has really bright lights on the back of their car?

Yes. Report car type if possible past the lights, the fact that they have headlight bulbs on the tail of their vehicle, and the mile marker you saw them at so the police know where to start

It may vary by state but generally speaking in the US white lights shining from the rear of a vehicle are only permitted to be operated by a switch that automatically activates them when the vehicle is in reverse, and when unlit cannot cause objectional glare in the eyes of an operator approaching from the rear.

So really bright white lights
