Is it uncommon to never use your brights while driving ?

I use them maybe once a month.

Usually when I get a mild case of ROAD RAGE, other than that I never use 'em.

Are you one of those annoying people that drive around with brights on all the time because you don't realize they blind people around you?

I use my brights to annoy people purposefully... like people that drag @$$ on the highway or chuck their lit cigarettes out their windows right onto my car. Heck, had one douche bag in a Jetta do that to me tonight. Cigarette pretty much exploded on my windshield...

My HIDs are brighter than my halogen hi beams so I rarely use them except to flash people coming the other way to signal they can turn in front of me, etc.

I hardly ever use them either.

No, I usually don't have people around me when I drive.

I use them whenever I don't see another car coming at me or in front of me.

I've actually decided to get driving lights, I do a lot of driving on this one stretch of windy road with no lights so it would help.

If you always drive in the city (or suburbs), then no, you probably don't use your brights too often. But if you frequently drive in rural areas at night, then yes, you should use your brights when there are no other cars on the road. It's the safe thing to do.

Maybe on the rare occasion I'm driving out in the country and I see one of those deer signs, I might flip them on
but otherwise, never.

You know, the deer don't KNOW they're supposed to cross at those signs. 😛

I live in the "country" so I use them a lot... But even when I'm not near my house, I still use them unless there's another car nearby. NJ is overpopulated with deer, so you see them even in pretty well-developed areas.
