headlights

finally a ‘pet peeve’, headlights. headlights that are set on the ‘high beam’ setting while driving on the very dark vancouver streets. it is infuriating having a ‘driver’ come behind you with his/her high beam on and not think twice that perhaps it might be a nuisance. it is quite disturbing and rude having to put up with ‘drivers’ that seem to lack the concept of not only street courtesy, but logic all together. whether the car is behind you or in front of you, it is distracting and annoying.

leaving personal preference aside, it is simply ‘extremely dangerous’. the high beam setting is and was provided for dark streets outside of the city. it is unsafe driving with them on. blinding the driver on the opposite lane can cause accidents. driving behind someone with your high beams on, will cause distraction with the same effect as in the previous question.

vancouver streets are equipped with numerous lights, you barely need your low beam on to be able to see where you drive. i am still stupidified why someone would need to turn their high beams on and drive as if they were alone on the road. it’s simply unsafe, so STOP DOING IT.
