I’ve got light sensitivity, which is why I’ll often wear sunglasses in places where others don’t. Some people poke fun at me but I’d rather ignore their gibes in favor of not getting a migraine or, at the very least, a pounding headache. This ailment is often at its worst at night, when other drivers have their lights on and will often forget that their high beams are blasting forward like the heat of a thousand suns.
In China, Taobao is selling decals that you can attach to your back windshield that are barely noticeable during the day but will illuminate at night when high beams are in use. What makes these decals so special is that they are of ghastly images and ghosts, similar to what we’d see in movies like Ringu and Ju-on. Basically, you’re driving down the road and someone comes up behind you with their high beams on and they’re suddenly face-to-face (car-to-car?) with a ghost. Honestly, I can’t say I’m against this idea. Having high beams in your rearview mirror is painful!
However, according to SMCP, the police aren’t too keen on these decals as they seem to be causing a few accidents. They’re issuing fines of up to 100 yuan if drivers have one of these decals and they warn that the consequences will be far more painful if an accident happens and the decal is found to be the reason.
You can see what these decals look like below. And cheers to Mashable for the find!
