RE: High Beams

I use higbeams during the day, also use regular lights on my car during the day.

Never had anyone "flash their lights" at me because I was blinding them, so I doubt I am.

Anything to help me be seen more.

What's with the rookies on bikes who have their high beams on during the daytime? IMHO it does not make it easier to be seen, low beam will be just fine thankyou. Everytime I see this I find that it just makes it harder to judge how fast the bike is coming towards me. Not to mention how it seems to hurt the eyeballs. If the cagedrivers can't see you with yer lows on what difference is hi going to make?

I think that's a great idea...I will start doing that. I have 3 lights in front, but my DH only has one, and I gotta tell you, he NEEDS to leave it on high. That light he has is just too dim. Plus his bike is silver and black....well, he blends right into the road!! I keep trying to get him to wear one of those bright yellow reflective shirts that bicycle riders wear, but he keeps mumbling....give me a f-ing break!!
