Is it uncommon to never use your brights while driving ?

My Night Vision isn't good enough to live without them

You really should have adjusted them in that case.

Ah. Well done. Misaligned headlights are one of my pet peeves when driving.

i hardly use them because i'm very good at memorizing the roads i drive on. if it's unfamiliar territory and it's not well lit, then i'll use the brights

 

[CraigRT]

barely ever.. only time they end up coming on is when i realize there are no other cars around.... meh, might as well flip the brights on!!

 

[snut]

i use them all the time when there are no cars and lights, my 4 hella 4000s and highs can blind steve wonder

 

[Giblet]

Almost never. I haven't driven without traffic in years quite frankly. Everywhere i drive even late at night always has cars coming the other way frequently.

I use mine all the time in the country but never in town. To many deer and other animals not to

 

[thomsbrain]

i use them at least a few times a week. i take back roads to school a lot, or i'll take back roads instead of the freeway because they are more fun (although slower).

 

[Dznuts007]

I rarely use mine.

One thing I really really hate is when one side of a person's headlights go out, so instead of getting a new bulb and fixing it,they drive around with the high beam on instead so that they have one highbeam and a regular light...

I used to use mine constantly when I lived out in the country where we had lots of deer and other animals. High beams are basically provided to expand your viewing distance when other cars are not in front of you.
Now that I live more in a city enviroment, I haven't turned them on in quite a while, I'm never alone on the road

BTW, its a good idea to turn on your lights in rain or fog (but NOT the high beams in fog). In fact, NY state has a law that if your wipers are on, your lights must be on as well. Basically this is just so the other cards can see you, since rain can obstruct view.

For some IDIOTS it is not uncommon.

I turn my lights on even if it's not raining but the roads are wet and the sky is dark, because I think the water spray and low light obscures visibility.

I remember when they first came out with these newfangled halogen lights. A friend was trying to convince me to spend the extra bucks for them when my lights needed replacement. I told him I never even use my brights, so why would I need 'em? "Oh, never mind..."

My night vision is poor, but there is little opportunity to use them. Too much traffic and roads are always well lit, except for our neighborhood. I turn on my parking lights when I pull in the drive, so as not to disturb the neighbors. I don't turn the headlights on till I'm facing down the street for the same reason. When it's that dark, the normal headlights are bright enough. I see no reason to send a beacon on out to the next city!

 

[coolVariable]

We are no talking about lights in general but high beam lights / brights.

 

[MacGaven]

Not uncommon.

 

[Ylen13]

use them alot of times as i drive in canyons alot and at night no lights othern your headlights

 

[PatboyX]

i usually completely forget about them until i see an animal near the road or some ass-idiot with his highs on coming at me.

 

[vi edit]

Holy resurrected thread batman!

 

[ElFenix]

i don't use them much
