Right, they don't annoy other drivers as much, except me, but they do fuck up your night vision as the driver. I've heard people claim they leave them on to see stuff close to their car, if you left them off you could see stuff farther away and maybe not need to worry about it when it's only 10 feet away. Presumably these are the same people who turn up their dash lights to maximum. Fuck night vision, am I right?
My problem with oncoming high beams is they're never alone so I can't just switch my brights back on for the last second or two before I pass them. And also, things that cops simply don't enforce any more, apparently.
