Using high beams on a divided highway?

I don't flash my high beams, even in the daylight.....I've had it done to me too many times already. I'm one of the "new breed" but I learned the old school ways from my family growing up. I turn them off for a second. Most drivers DO know where their trailer ends, but some are "new" and don't have that skill yet. Sometimes on 2 lane roads, its best to get them back over quickly and if you can see they've cleared you, you let them know they can come back, you know they're coming. Its just a way to let them know you know they're coming and aren't going to explode all over their CB for it. Just don't be the tanker yanker who cut me off in texas last week, and then slam on the brakes at the bottom of a hill. I wanted so bad to read that one the riot act.

 

That is an easy fix-buy an obama motors car or a gmc-government owned car.

 

Highbeams do not bother me on divided highways and interstates, not to mention that I have had several HP tell me that it is not required to dim them on the interstate highways.

The thing that pisses me off more are all the ill adjusted driving lights and fog lights that you see on most every vehicle on the road.

 

maybe they should make them easier to adjust.
my definition of easy does not mean having to take the headlight out of the headlight assembly, then put a pair of vice grips on the adjusting screw, while you turn the nut.

How are you going to know how much to adjust it, when you have to take the thing out to do it?

 

The only lights that bug me are these new bright blue headlights some cars have. Those things are bright and they hurt to look at.

 

I communte on the Interstate and high beams on a divided highway is my #1 complaint, particularly this time of year when I'm driving more during darkness. It's amazing how many people think it's okay.

Yes, hiigh beams are blinding, and you should set your lights to low beam. Some of the new highlights seem to be off-the-charts bright. Some of us have had lasik eye surgery and are even more sensitive to bright headlights.

Along the same lines, having a headlight out doesn't justify high beams. Please get the darn thing fixed. And, when you get it fixed, make sur it's adjusted correctly so that your low beams are, in fact, low beams.

 

This is one of my biggest pet peeves in driving.

You might think it's ok to run on brights but the people coming at you are blinded by your laziness or unwillingness to dim them, even if they don't 'flash' you. Did you ever stop to think about the fact that they might not want to blind you by flashing? This doesn't mean you aren't compromising their ability to see down the roadway by failing to dim your lights on any highway, divided or not.

Dim those darned headlights anytime you see oncoming vehicles and give them a break!

FYI in some states it is required to dim your headlights when you are within 500 feet of oncoming traffic, in others it can be as far as 1000 feet.

 

The answer to your question is...YES!!

 

I did a quick search this morning to see the legality of NOT dimming your high beams on a divided highway because so many rude-tards are trying to blind me. If you got your high-beams on and they are affecting my vision, I am going to turn mine on and, if you don't turn yours off, I am going to leave mine on so that I can see.

 

Why would you need high beams on when driving on a highway/Interstate? It's wide open terrain. Knotheads.
