The two factors are entirely unrelated.
It's like saying 'You say know you the road. The fact you have a Bon Jovi's greatest hits CD says you dont'.
How I kept calm I'm not sure...

Really, wish this forum has PM facilities to fully vent my views.
When you have a fast car it's generally not necessary to completely nail it if you can see it's clear. If I overtake someone at 40 in the 535d dropping in to 2nd is unnecessary - 4th is probably fine, and 3rd will get me past very quickly.
I know personal attacks are not allowed here, but you sir, are a moron and I suggest you book yourself on some further driver training before you drive again at night. You will be doing yourself and others on the road a favour.
High beams are there for a reason, to enable you to see. You should use them in order to see further down the road. Other people not remembering to dip their lamps is no reason for you to not use yours.
I know the roads around where I live like the back of my hand but I will always use my high beams as it's kinda useful to be able to see that pedestrian or parked car long before the top cutoff of my dipped beams hits them.
And yes, I can guarantee I have never left my high beams on as my car has auto high beams that dip whenever there is a car in front of me or coming the other way.
You often don't need to - if the road is straight enough and empty enough you don't need to have your foot welded flat to the floor in 2nd to safely overtake. Depends how flexible the cars powerband is, etc etc.
Well, unless the guy you are overtaking ends up being a prize muppet obviously.
Sorry, but that's like a drunk driver trying to argue that just because he's not crashed yet it's ok.
Feel free to come to a meet to full convey your feelings. You're arguments come across as illogical drivel, you argue on aspects that are so far from the norm that you come across as mentally challenged.
Define "knowing the road well"?
I can basically do a running commentary of every single fixed hazard on that road while driving along it at a clip. I know every camber change and probably every bump/undulation that matters. Why? Because I drive that road a lot. Like, every time I go out in the car for a fun drive, I probably end up on that road.
I've driven that road in every single car I have ever owned and been a passenger down there in countless others when friends have come over to show me a new car or whatever.
In all, I have about a decade of experience of driving that road and attacking it a damn sight harder than I did in that video.
Still think my main beam use was down to not knowing the road?
Has ross not noticed that every time he gets into one of these ridiculous arguements in threads its always him versus literally everyone else?

Fair points. I'm not used to driving anything that can pull the skin off a rice pudding I guess.
But still, when out for a hoon (which I assume you were because you were filming?) I would definitely go for "maximum attack mode"
What kind of moron doesn't use full beams whenever possible at night, oh wait we have one

If I was out for a hoon I'd not be able to post up the video
I was out to capture the noise the SC was making because I was asked by a guy over on the MX5Nutz forum. I didn't want to banzai it as I've not long completed the build and don't want to blow it up if there are still some snags. The map is also far from optimal and obviously WOT in 2nd at the top of the rev range is a fair chunk more stress on everything than WOT in 3rd around the middle of the rev range.10k Focus ST
