Still don't agree with you. O.k., I've seen them, but then when I have to turn away because they're blinding me, that's when I'm not watching what they're doing!

Also, if it pisses me off, & I ride bikes, What's it going to do to the car drivers? You'll probably say that it doesn't matter, because they've seen you, but I reckon that a pissed off driver (& there are plenty of pissed off rednecks on your roads) is more likely to do something stupid- "gee officer, that idiot on the motorcycle blinded me, so I just couldn't avoid hitting him"- Like I already said, if they cant see low beam then they're not likely to see high beam & recognize it as anything more than "some sort of bright light in the middle of the road". I think that it is more a thing about them being so empty headed as to just not register ANYTHING around them, as to a brighter light making them realise that there are ANY other vehicles on the road.
