Last weekend driving 93n at night by exit 12 I noticed a trooper adjacent to the highway right at the breakdown lane. As I drive but I noticed I bright white light felt like it was going right into my car. Any idea what’s going on here? I’m used to them pulled over in the breakdown lane or off into the grass. Just curious.

Not sure about your specifics, but lots of cruisers have side-lights built into the rack on top. Lights up your whole car while they're beside you.

I was heading north and their vehicle was facing west. Right at the breakdown lane. The white light seemed to be pointing directly at cars.

You’ll get that with the XK-Red27 lightbars. If that’s what they’re outfitted with.

I’ve seen this occasionally. They have the spotlight (seen on the left of the car, at the base of the windshield) pointed across the roadway, into car windows.

I assume it’s so they can see inside the cars that go by. Looking for drunks, people texting, etc.

I just don’t want to be caught picking my nose! Very embarrassing. It did kind of mess with my eyes for a second. They’re like a cars length away from you. Just was curious.
