Countless times I've had oncoming drivers flash me at night, when I've been on dipped lights, because of the above. I'd love to see the reaction when I show them what full beam is actually like!!  |
[Another derail] Pet hate of mine is uprated bulbs! They blind you coming the other way. If people are flashing you, they are flashing you cos you are blinding them, not cos they think you have some settings wrong. What if they drive into you cos they are dazzled by the glare? When I go past cars with exceedingly bright lights, I have to slow right down and aim for just next to them, cos I can't see any of the road, markings, bushes or anything! I hate uprated bulbs. If you want bright, use full beam and dip it for oncoming traffic.[/Another derail]
