Until you blind one of them and they run into you because they can't see
where they're going........
I use low beam at night, except where I won't blind oncoming traffic. I'm
surprised, Hugh, that your local constabulary hasn't pulled you over and
given you a stern talking to. Here in the MD area it is illegal to ride
with your high beam on during the day (but hey, it's my ass, so I do it
anyway and with a modulator, to boot). But not at night. Of course, I
don't ride that much at night, and I certainly can't speak for your
situation, but I know what _I_ do at night, and if I'm in traffic it's low
beam.
