I fixed it for you
must be a north east thing, i like winding people up a lot too but it'll get you a ban on here
I'd rather have a lifetime ban, that your driving style

LOL
i'd rather drive like an idiot than drive with no lights on at night
this thread took a wrong turn, at night without any lights on and we're lost and its all because of you.. well done ross..
i see your point but its always more fun if you can get in front because at that point you're in controle, if they try and over take you can then move over to stop them in their tracks, this really ****s them off
Your standards of driving, if they are as your claim, are as shockingly poor as the guy featured in the video I posted.
Moving over to block someone that tries to overtake you, regardless of any "previous", is so massively retarded I'm struggling to know how to respond to you.
Seriously Ross. Using your Full Beams and Low Beams whilst driving is perfectly normal. Any decent driver finds it easy and second nature 
and Mickie you sound like a Grade A tard who shouldn't be allowed on the road. It's not a playground

Unfortunately it's not second nature for many of the drivers I come across on the roads. Lost count the amount of times I have been dazzled
So then why are you in my thread posting made up crap? There is a topic, either your posts are relevant to the thread or they aren't. This isn't a storytelling thread.
I actually think you probably just realised that you drive like a massive ******* and are now looking for a way out.
You are the equivalent of America during the war. Come along and take all the glory at the end of all my hard work.
High Beam, when suitable, ALWAYS.
The effectiveness of dipped beams decreases as speed increases. They are good for about 40MPH 'safely' (As in, suitable illuminated stopping distance)
Choosing NOT to use main beam when suitable is effectively reducing your stopping distance as you cannot slow down for what you cannot see.
As for the argument about main beam reducing dipped illumination, well:
1 - It should not affect your dipped illumination
and
2 - At greater speed your forward vision should be increased also, you want to be looking where main beam can illuminate far more effectively
Only a muppet would not use main beams when suitable. Out of those muppets the ones who justify it on "knowing the road" are ignorants also.

Ross and mickie - don't post in this thread again. If either of you do, you'll both be suspended regardless.

|Indeed. DRZ did very well to let the moron continue about his business. Shame there are tools like that on the road, unfortunately, it's illegal to pull them out of the car and beat them to a pulp.
That CTR driver was a bit of a tool to put it mildly, DRZ did the right thing bugging out of that imo....
If you'd ever driven at night, in something like this, with this light setup, you suddenly reason how laughable that sounds! 
Rossk26 !highbeams theory makes perfect sense if:-
i) You have a private road with your own key to open the gate at one end and you lock the gate immediately behind you, with no side roads attached to it and your house at the end of it. No one else lives in the house or has access to the gate key.
ii) There is an electrified 15m high fence either side of the road to keep away any animals from crossing the road.
iii) You are learning to drive said road eventually with a patched eye or blindfold.
iv) It never ever rains.

I just hope that when that guy totals himself he doesn't impact any other road users at the same time. To the posters saying this is a "waaa, my car isn't fast enough" thread, then a) look at what the OP drives, and b) actually look at the highway code for once!
In terms of Main Beam use, I'm with the majority of people in this thread in so much that I'll use them whenever safe to do so if they will benefit my visibility, that's what they're there for! Since the advice on using headlights is when visibility is under 100m (at any time), then for me this reinforces the reasons to use main beam when possible, since my dipped headlights sure don't light up 100m in clear conditions at night!
Anyways, well played OP, don't see what else you could have done in the situation to be honest.
