Is it safe to use my high beams at night?
|
I have a 2006 Honda CBR F4i and I was wondering if you motorcyclists use your high beams while driving at night. The day light is always on but I just don't feel safe having only one light on at night. However, I don't want someone getting pissed at me and coming after me for blinding them. Any opinion is welcome...

Your all morons

I use high beams only to warn a driver and on a street where there are no streetlights. |

I just switch my high beam off when I see another car coming towards me. Then I use the car's light to see the road. After the car is behind me, I switch the high beam back on.
Also, I turn my high beams off when I'm about to go over the top of a hill. I don't want to blind anyone that's coming over the hill in a car. After I'm over the hill, I cut them back on.
So I guess you just got to use your own good judgment as to whether or not to turn your high beams on.
One thing I know for sure is that it isn't safe to leave them off. I can't see anything with the day time light at night. |

Switch off the high-beam when approaching another vehicle, just like you would if driving a car. You have the safety of not over-driving your lights, and you're being courteous to other drivers. I doubt other drivers would actually come after you for blinding them, but they may turn on their brights, which could blind you. |
