Do People in Calgary not understand how not to drive without Using their Highbeams?

**bennyhanna** · 09-30-2005, 07:53 AM

Lastnight I was out, driving back and forth between Airdrie, and I counted at least 8-10 cars driving with their highbeams on??????? Between 8-10pm
WTF????

They were on Country Hills and the Deerfoot, so its not like they were driving down some dark country road!!!

Are they that obilivious to the fact "hey I can see my headlights on that stop light?"

Its either that or their H/L's are so misaligned.

And to top it off, whats even worse.....are ricers and their DAMN HID lights in Non HID Headlights!

Some damn ricer followed me lastnight, who decided...."hey my car will look great with HIDS" Hey Buddy,
1)Your car was never designed for them
2)Your Blinding every fucking body on the road
3)When I was point to my sunvisor, I was showing you how bad your "GLARE" was.
4)Get off the fucking road

Lots of people have HiD's... no need to hate

Just blast them back with your high beams.

A special big FUCK YOU goes out to the idiots who drive with their fogs on when it's NOT FOGGY, have only one headlight, or drive at night with DRLs.

HIDs arent supposed to blind oncoming traffic. If you have HIDs and you are constantly getting "flashed" by people that think you have your highbeams on... get the aligned properly.

Crappy Do-It-Yourself HID installs =

I drive round in some places with my highbeams on, but only when theres no one infront of me, thats because my headlights in general are SHIT, I can't see fuck all with my regular lights, sometimes passengers ask me why I don't turn them on, BUT THEY ARE ON, so I will be buying HIDs eventually, not to look cool or any of that shit, but just cos I like to see where I'm driving.

Yes, of course but DRLs/fogs should NOT be used at night when there's no fog. When you flip on your low beams, the DRL/fogs go OFF, just as the factory intended. It's the idiots that have them on with their headlights at night in perfect weather that irk me.

Fog lights add glare to oncoming traffic and there's simply no need to have them on. Does it make you more visible? Perhaps, but everyone can see you fine with just your low beams on.

I don't have a problem with fogs as DRLs. They are Daytime Running Lights, not Nighttime Running Lights.

I hate all the RSX's with hids, they are blinding. Halogen headlamps aren't meant for HID's.

Most fogs don't have nearly as good a cutoff as the low beams, if there's any cutoff at all. Without a good cutoff, there's excessive glare even though most of the light goes low. Doesn't take much glare to be annoying.

Two of my cars have factory fogs and I know they produce enough glare that I won't use them unless it's foggy.

Some of the newer cars have projector fogs. Those are pretty good and they give me no problem.

**rc2002** · 09-30-2005, 11:01 AM

When I wasn't at stock ride height, it used to seem like everyone had high beams on. It's gotten noticeably better now that I'm not lowered...

I like driving around with foglights just for aesthetics. Might as well use 'em if you have 'em right? Calgary hardly ever gets fog so you'd only be using once in a blue moon if you only use them in foggy conditions

**l8braker** · 09-30-2005, 11:01 AM

i have my fogs on everytime i drive, they're aimed low but i could really care less if it hits anyone driving. high beaming SUCKS!!! i always beam them back with my silv's at close range.

**Raz** · 09-30-2005, 11:23 AM

what I hate are the newer trucks/suv's that when they are right behind you have their headlights at my eyelevel - SO annoying.

You sit there at a red light and all of the sudden you are fucking blind because some fuckface in his escalade pulled up GARR
