How I kept calm I'm not sure...

[Kenai]

Really your going to risk walking when there are thousands upon thousands of drivers out there that are willing to take your life because they don't wish to use their high beams.

Enjoy your funeral.

Just shut up will you?

You're either retarded or trolling, either way i'm sure everyone would agree they'd rather you just shut up.

Calm down.

Using the R word, offencive that. Deserves a ban in my eyes

To be honest, I'd rather he carry on. It's entertaining while I wait for my tea.

We should compile a list of lulz

1) Old Audis never ever ever break down
2) The additional price of Super Unleaded is pure profit as it's the same as normal unleaded
3) If you use high beams, you dont know the road

 

[Princey]

Also the Ford focus gives you a 50 yard section of road with no light when using full beam.

Oh well, we'll see if any moderators agree soon enough won't we?

 

[SS-89]

Clearly trolling, nobody could be that...wait OcUK has taught me otherwise.

 

[Dogbreath]

Eh? You suggest all drivers MUST drive with their high beams on at all times.

But in a MK1 focus by doing this you cancel out the dipped beam of the headlight. Resulting in no light being distributed where the dipped light used to be FACT.

I don't think I have ever seen so much crap in a single thread. I'm really not convinced you have passed your test, certainly nothing you have said so far lends any credence to you having driven a car on dark roads.

Dipped beams are angled down from the headlamps (and to the left); the clue is in the name. This means the beam only extends a limited distance from the car, giving you distinctly limited vision in the distance. Main beam covers the area in front of your car all the way into the distance, and switching between the two takes fractions of a second.

If you are driving on a dark road, would you prefer to see hazards further away to give you plenty of time to react, or would you prefer to see these hazards materialise right in front of your car whilst on dipped lights, giving minimal time to react? Think carefully.

I would be willing to take that risk. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact the way is street lit and furthermore, we don't have smacktards down this way who don't use full beams when applicable.

Apparently they now live in the north east somewhere.

I'm sure if I conducted a nightime traffic study on a stretch of road this would probably prove otherwise. My guess is for every 100 cars or so, probably 55 would use their high beams.

Higher/Lower, place your bets now

 

[[TW]Fox]

We've no idea what this stretch of road is. Is it a dark country lane in the middle of nowhere with an NSL speed limit similar to that in DRZ's video?

"Offensive"

When trolling please ensure spelling, punctuation and grammar are of an acceptable quality. Thank you.

Doesn't make it right. They'd still be labled as totally morons by people who value safety.

Any unlit road in the UK. That's the rule isn't it? If there are no street lights you MUST use your high beams at ALL time unless there is oncoming traffic or you are approaching traffic in front...

Why stop there? Surely you can see more on lit roads too with high beams?

Hell come to think of it, we should all be using high beams more than dipped beams. Why ever didn't manufacturers make cars to come on with high beam as standard, and we have the option to turn off for when there may be traffic... . *Sorry this is all sarcasm before anyone thinks I am serious.

Ross, is your life so hopelessly and desperately crap that the only enjoyment you can get on Christmas Eve comes from winding up strangers on the Internet with a load of bum dribble?

Happy Christmas everyone, apart from you Ross, you suck.

Indeed, I flick mine on whenever there isn't other traffic on the road that would be dazzled by them.

Does your golf have candles for headlights?

Surprised it took this long for the ol' ARGUING ON THE INTERNET one to come out
