High Beam In Night City Traffic?

[GaLynxmo]

What do you think? Me? I never use high beam in city traffic and hates drivers using high beam in close quarters of city driving. I only use high beam in provincial highways where you drive at above normal speed and there is no vehicle on the opposite lane. How I wish some drivers be considerate of others. Wishful thinking? Maybe we can begin here.

i use the high beam in heavy downpours and in very poor lit streets, but other than that, hindi na. kaya na ng HID

[j_avonni]

I use pag walang sinusundan at kasalubong. Kainis pag may kasalubong ka o may sumusunod sa yong naka highbeam.

You only need to use high beam if you need to see far ahead of your vehicle. If there is already a vehicle in front of you, then high beams are pretty much useless. Unless maybe you want to be featured in the Goon Squad forums or something.

When there is an oncoming vehicle, courtesy dictates you to use the low beam setting.

How far do you need to actually see while driving in the city to ever need high beams? Sa loob ng village lang ako gumagamit ng high beams kasi bihira ang sasakyan dito.

dito po sa Baguio may mga daan na matarik paakyat .. those vehicles that are uphill at kasalubong mo laging naka high bean. Tama ba yon? Kung minsan pinapatay ko na lang ilaw ko para hindi na sila mag high beam.

[bangad]

yep, high beams not necessary pag may sinusundan kang sasakyan.
Sana lahat ng drivers ganito karesponsible. Yung iba, talagang gusto pang tumutok e.

[GaLynxmo]

Thank goodness, at least I know most (this early) tsikoteers are responsible ones and uses them courteously. Saludo ako sa inyo mga peps.
But many I find truly abusive, who even uses fog lights when there is no fog in metro manila. and such are even pointed upwards.

Basta kapag may kasalubong na (less than 200 meters) nagbababa na ako ng ilaw. Ung tipong di ako makaka-abala or makakasilaw sa kanya. Okay na yun. Masmaganda kasi gumamit ng high beam lalo na sa gabi, kaunti lang naman ang mga kalyeng may ilaw dito sa Metro. Kahit sa Edsa ang hirap makita ang kalye.

[vhenok]

Dami talagang pasaway at di lang sa city....

Kahit sa hiway driving, mang-aasar pa nga minsan, pag kasalubong mo na bigla iha-high beam.

Anak ng pating talaga, dapat sa inyo

Seldom ko lang din gamitin high beam ko, dun sa too dark areas pero wala namang kasalubong or vehicle in front. I also use this like when I'm about to pass, pero pitik lang and that's it.

[XTO]

nope para lang sa mga "makasarili" yun na walang courtesy and worst mga may pinag-aralan pa. i only use it for unfamiliar road at walang kasalubong.
baka masilat tayo sa mga potholes eh.
