Being somewhat of an advanced amateur photographer, I have tried,  with great
success taking a flash picture through my back window, usually with the help of
an equally terrified co-driver. We are talking nighttime on roads in New
Brunswick with a pulpwood truck  -right up our ass- for twenty or thirty miles.
This is a very dangerous situation folks as the roads are two lane, curving up
and down hill in every kind of weather.

There is nothing quite so startling as a pair of Vivitar 283's and the license
plate they illuminate firing off on a black rainy road. I get a record of how
close the as*hole was driving and his plate at the same time. Tends to make them
back off quick.
