Share icon Share Checkmark Link copied! Share icon Share Modal close ADVERTISEMENT Some Chinese drivers are declaring war on tailgating vehicles with their high-beams on. The newest weapons in this road conflict are freakishly scary reflective decals, that are only visible when the driver behind activates his blinding headlamps. Lately, these horrific prints are selling like crazy for relatively modest prices ($3-$18). They also got noticed by authorities. In Beijing, police officials say that it’s not illegal to have decals on rear windows, but such driver is likely to bear responsibility of accidents that result from scaring other drivers. However, Shandong police has a different opinion and is ready to fine these radical drivers for about 100 Chinese Yuan ($15).What do you think about this idea?(h/t: dangerousminds) Share iconShare iconShare icon Share iconShare iconADVERTISEMENTShare iconShare iconADVERTISEMENTShare iconShare icon Ic_puzzle Games View all games Anyone can write on Bored Panda.
