Why do so many drivers drive with their high beams on at night?

[concise]

Now that the daylight hours are getting shorter and shorter and sunset is creeping up on us earlier every day, I'm starting to be reminded of one of the things I hate most about driving at night. Knuckleheads who refuse to drive without their high beams.
Blinding you on two-way streets as they pass by and those that render your mirrors useless as they drive behind you.

Any given night, there will be at least one of these crazies every 10 minutes and there's no real way to stop them.

Oh.

I thought this was code for their nipples being on deck through their shirts.

 

[Strapped]

maybe their headlights are out

 

[Danny Up]

Because they can't see duh.

 

[charmander]

bright lights are neat

Quick and potentially life saving advice breh: don't look directly at them and you will be fine

If mistakenly glance at them directly your vision is fukked for a brief second or two

If they are behind you, you can adjust the mirror so it reflects back and they might get the picture.

Cuz I be fucced up n cant see good on dark streets.

what pisses me off more is some drivers having those shyts on in the daytime right behind me when im driving...

Electronic davices have caused slight impairment to modern humans eyes...


They cant see at night so they enhance their sight with power beams.


Word to cyclops.

It surely is. They come out of nowhere.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Turn your fukking high beams off. I hate that shyt. It's not that hard to see where you're driving with normal lights. And yes, I've lived in rural areas before.

They can't see is literally the only answer. But it's still not necessary to have them on down a long stretch of road populated by many cars.
