I have been thinking of rigging one of those insanely bright flashlights to blind them.

I remember seeing a story awhile back about someone who's built a motor-activated mirror setup. They have a mirror on a motor next to their back window. When they press a button up front, the mirror tilts up.

I really like this solution as you're literally just shining their own light back at them.

That’s one of the ideas I’ve mulled over, but figured it may be kind of dangerous for me too because then there’s a huge metal battering ram behind me with nobody to steer it.

If you’ve ever stumbled across the internet’s flashlight enthusiast communities you’ll discover they are wildly powerful these days for no other reason than just because the technology exists. Like set your pocket on fire or halfway between flashlight/laser lights. So Ive definitely thought about one of those to respond in kind.

A camera flash would be more effective. An old school external flash unit will destroy your night vision.
