One stange thing that I noticed in Hyderabd is that many are using HIGH BEAM light as a standrad.
High Beam light can cause accident and its pretty useless when you are driving in city.
Please avoid driving with High Beam, its silly. It causes accidents.
I happen to travel a lot in cab. I ask all the drivers why they are using High Beam ? No answer. !!!Its the default setting!!!. I try my level best to explain that HIGH BEAM is used only when you need to see far away , and when you are signalling. HIGH BEAM IS IRRITATING FOR THE DRIVER ON THE OPPOSITE. I just hope the message passes thru.
Infact the so called young eductaed drivers and biker keep it on HIGH BEAM.Even within the city they use high beams.I dont know what is the use of it. Is it to show off or what?
Lets make it a point to tell and create an awareness to those who do not know the difference betrween HIGH BEAM and LOW BEAM.
Actually, most people don't do it on purpose. About a third of drivers don't know or realize that high beam is bothersome to others and that it is illegal to use it unless it is raining or foggy outside. Most of the rest - when faced with high beams from opposite side - find it tough to sight the road ahead, so their response is tit for tat, to put high beam on their vehicle for better vision. Rest, like you and me, are left to complain and wonder how this can be stopped !
Lets try.

Traffic Logic: Headlights on high beam blind drivers in on-coming traffic (towards you). They would not be able to see pedestrians or obstructions on the road in the glare. This is a safety hazard. Put the beam on low, at least until the other vehicles are completely past. Avoid using high beam except on highways without streetlights. Traffic police should challan drivers using high beam within city limits.
Courtesy: Clicking the headlight off and on is a request to the on-coming driver to put the headlight on low beam.
Please learn to avoid driving high beam on city roads. Its a real menace for other drivers. This is the general practice in our country. Please make more people aware
of the difference between the high beam and low beam headlights. Dealers should mention this to their customers while making a sale.
