Same type of guy that will bitch up a storm when someone comes at them with the high beam on.

Nah I'm good. I run mine 100% of the time during the day, usuly at night unless I'm riding in a group or following one car down a single lane roadway. See and be seen folks. Everyone sees you coming from a mile away and moves over. Everyone makes it home alive.

Except the old lady you blind and ends up running off the road. There is a reason you aren't supposed to do that.

But it is ok because it isn't you dealing with it. It's someone else. No need to worry about anyone else!

What old lady did I run off the road? Oh, that's never happened to me and you're making up far-fetched tales to prove your point? Nice try.

I don't live out in the boonies with single lane mountain roads and big rigs carrying timber. I'm talking about lane splitting in heavy California traffic on 6 lane freeways. Gotta make yourself relevant on the road so that maybe "the old lady" will have a glimmer of a chance at not killing ME.

But I digress, OP it's your bulb.

Nothing bad has happened (that you're aware of), so nothing ever will! Keeping your head in the sand to avoid responsibility. Nice try.

I ride the same freeways AND the mountain roads outside San Diego. Have yet to feel like I need to blind other drivers heading down any of the freeways.

Why does everyone always want to fight on here? These forums are meant to be a community where others can seek help when necessary. Everybody is going to disagree at some point cause everybody has a different opinion. Don't take offense to it, everybody is different. I personally hate when people drive with their high beams on, but what we do is dangerous and sometimes it is important to make sure we're seen. I only ride with my high beam on when I'm alone on the road or during the day if it's very foggy but that's just me. Let's all take a deep breath, we're all here for the same reason.

there is no fight if you do not engage... only an assault and an assailant.



Tai chi that noise... and get thicker skin. Bunch of strong men (and women) with strong opinions. There's bound to be skirmishes. Just beware chickens, goats/sheeps, and Yeezus. They are watching.

My low beam when out on a regular basis. I went to LED and no issues since.

i used to go in on folks that started stuff or got all overbearing, trying to tell people what to do.. (even when it was outright stupid) but, i would always end up in trouble.

Now i just hit that report triangle if theres even a hint of trolling, antagonization, or disrespect.

in most cases, people are just trying to be helpful, just may not come across that way. And then there's just people having fun and goofing off. No worries
