:-) This exchange reminds me of a joke...... doctor in a loonatic asylum treating a patient who has a delusion that he's an Egyptian Mummie. No matter what the Doc says the guy insists he is an Egyptian Mummie so he comes up with an idea to prove to the patient that he is deluded - he asks the...
Ha. Right. OK. Let's see if I can write something without causing any more trouble. Here's the thing on all this. Round where I live there are simply loads of roads where if you did keep your main beam on all the time you would honestly be a danger to other roads users - and if was to take...
If you rode like that over here you would get flashed - the police would stop you - you would get a ticket - and you would get lectures from people on how irresponsible, selfish and dangerous your habit it. Thank the good lord you live in Canada I guess.
Wow. It does actually says to do that in the California highway code. Somebody should go talk to them and sort that out before any more people believe what that code is saying!
Its logical that the less skill a rider has the more likely they are to leave their lights on full beam. Fear makes people do stupid things - as a general rule I have noticed that to be true (probably why some of your cops do it). :-)
I'm impressed. With my 8 min version you only get one high beam not two - but then again I only ride in city traffic and only ever use the high beam to flash people for whatever reason (unlike some people here who seem to like to argue that its perfectly OK to ride around with your high beam on...
Daytime Highbeam Usage: Not the Brightest Idea.
So, after considering all sides to the argument, I will continue to us my high beams during daylight hours because my personal experience prooves that I am safer and I am not creating an unsafe environment for other road users.
Knowing what I...
Its plain dangerous and blinding - using full beam as you're approaching cars from behind is plain dangerous - driving towards cars with your full beam on is plain dangerous (when you're in your car are you one of those car drivers who doesn't dip your beams for on-coming traffic??) - whatever -...
No. The dual light mod gives you two dipped head lights for normal riding and the high beam comes on as as before by using the flash or high beam switch.
If you were foolish enough to drive around London with your main beam on you would promptly be arrested for dangerous driving! Riding with your main beam on is just mad - I cant believe anybody would be so amazingly selfish to even think about it!!! What about on-coming cars - what about the...
