Does it seem to you, that a lot of on coming drivers don't bother to dim their high beam headlights anymore?

1 Answer

Answer :

I chalk it up to the fact that driving these days is something you do while amusing yourself with other stuff. To remember to dim, you have to A) be aware that your high-beams are on, and B) be thinking about other drivers. That’s asking too much of someone who’s barely aware that they’re even driving. What gets me is that they never even seem to wonder why you’re flashing your lights at them.
