I don't understand why people drive with high beam on, even when it's not needed!
Is it only in India or anywhere else too?

Literally, I'm so frustrated with this shit.

This point should be the very first and most important in the list of the learning driving.

If someone can see your lights at all then the high beams should be off. Sometimes on some cars the normal lights seem brighter. Is it possible some of those cars are what you are seeing? This annoys the crap outa me too.

@Demolishun

Nope!

There were scenarios when I flickered my light to give them the signal to low their beam, and guess what. Very few of them do turn off their high beam and most of them like - "Bro, I don't care. This is my road." -_-

It’s everywhere, some aholes do that so you get out of the way. My new car has adaptive lighting on the rear view mirror and that has been awesome, I’ll tint the windows so that should also help a bit.

On the same note tho, I used to have an old truck that had the high beams in a weird place and I didn’t realize I was driving on high beams for a year, not that bright either because of the age of the truck but still.

@JKyll I had that issue on a really old truck 20 years ago.

It is predominant in India as these fucks don't even have the awareness that there is a dim option

Would be kinda funny to scare them by shutting your own lights completely. For the safety of all parties, I'm not recommending that.

Another thing that can dazzle you are lights that are out of alignment.

What do you even use lights for in India when you have horns.

@electrineer we always ensure horns and brakes work more than other parts

Passing light is barely used and even if you do, others don't understand why you do it. They may probably think you are not able to operate your bike

You should visit Penang Malaysia. Where everyone is using high beam and honking you if you drive under 60km/h . The most rush city.

@johnmelodyme this is sad 🥺😭

@Demolishun uh oh no. Living in a country where it gets damn dark, the best and afaik the recommended way to drive is get your high beams on at all times after dusk whenever not in an urban area and only turn back to normal lighting when the light beams of oncoming traffic and yourself touch. With a little practice it becomes easy to do that at just the right moment for maximum visibility and minimum disturbance for the oncoming drivers.

In my country it is mandated by law to have your driving lights on at all times - and tbh I don’t get why that’s not an international standard. It makes observing traffic, especially on grey rainy days, so much easier and by extension, roads safer.

In my country there is a fine for that behaviour
