- rootusrootus 7y agoSome people have taken to flashing anytime they find your lights bright, even if it happens to be the moment they are in the center of the beam pattern due to things like hills. I can understand the temptation to retaliate with "No, smartass, this is what brights actually look like."
- danaris 7y agoAround here, it's often very difficult to tell if the oncoming lights have flashed in your eyes because someone's deliberately flicked their high-beams at you, or because they've just gone over a bump in the road, exacerbating this problem.
- catalogia 7y agoThat's not been my experience. Every time I flash my highbeams at somebody with their highbeams on, they turn theirs off. Most people (yes, even most Americans!) aren't being deliberately malicious. Forgetfulness is much more common.
- nikanj 7y agoWe are talking about people whose non-high-beam lights are blindingly bright.
- catalogia 7y agoAnd I'm saying I've never experienced any sort of retribution for flashing my highbeams at people with bright lights (which I do habitually.) I'm sure it happens to some people some times, but it's clearly not very common.
- symmitchry 7y agoI think a nicer interpretation is: "I'm sorry about my bright lights, but I don't accidentally have my high beams on, thank you."
