The guy might have turned his headlights on in the tunnel, which is common and often a good idea. And I ought to point out that the guy in front of you has no obligation to travel fast enough to prevent you from hitting him. You need to leave enough space that he can brake without fear.

Nah, you just drive too close, does this happen whenever normal drivers see tail lights turned on? Maybe we need diferent colour tail and brake lights for "special" people like you.

I hope you can turn the auto feature off. The Auto lights you can switch off. The auto wipers feature basically replaces the intermittant mode. If you don't want the auto wipers, then have the wipers off, or set the wipers to one of the fixed speeds. Troy.
