As a point of reference, the Mabini Bridge (formerly Nagtahan Bridge) has a span of about 150 meters.

Also, high-beams allows you to see overhead signages on EDSA and the expressways. If you have to use the high-beam to read them at night and with cars in front of you, do so sparingly.

Well said. Thanks.

-to give signal dun sa nasa harapan ko na mag-overtake ako
-kapag magovertake ako para makita ko kung meron bang something sa harap pag nagovertake

okay lang po ba yung ganyang habit?

Pareho tayo ng driving habit sa high beam.

add ko lang,

- kapag may kasalubong akong naka-hid na sabog ang throw ng lights naghihighbeam ako, lalo na kapag 2-lane street.

tama para maremind din yung ibang naka babad sa high beam, usually pag may kasalubong na naka high beam nag high beam din ako saglit then binababa naman nila.

Textbook use of high beam is for highway and interstate driving.

That's what you'll find in both local and other countries driving manual.

Kanina sa SM north parking dun sa off ramp pababa from level 6, nag On ng led roof bar yung nasa likod ko na black montero. I stopped and put my gear in reverse. 55 watts yung reverse lights ko e. Di ako umabante kahit wala na car sa harap ko. Di pa din naintindihan ng kumag bakit naka reverse ako, binusinahan pa ako. So I lowered my window and shouted at him, "Off mo led bar mo! Pang off road lang yan!" Saka lang off ni kumag. Some people talaga!

isama din natin ang pagsenyas o pagtawag sa estudyanteng nasa U belt na nangangailangan sa pampayad ng tuition fee pero dapat matali ng puting panyo sa side mirror ng driver side.
