Today, I got a ticket for having my brights on. The street was pitch black and it was 1:30 in the morning. FML

yeah, it turns out that even if it's dark out, you're still supposed to turn off your brights when you meet another car. driver's ed drop out? this is probably the same person that drives in the rain with no headlights on and wipers going mach 10. "Why do I need to turn on my lights? I can see where I'm going." YDI

Well, arguably, you're supposed to turn them down when you seen another driver. But if the police officer was behind you, then it wasn't necessary. I bet he was just trying to meet his quota. You should go to court and argue it.

So in other words, you got a ticket for being safe. I say fight it.

I just hate those assholes on the freeway in URBAN (AS IN WELL-LIT) AREAS with the REALLY REALLY bright lights that blind you through your rear-view mirror. Seriously, assholes, if everyone else can see just fine, why the **** do you need your obnoxious ******* brights?

One time I was driving on the freeway at night, there was a new car with new headlights. The headlights bother me a lot because it was too bright to see in front of me and I almost bumped into the car next to me because of that stupid new car. so I tried speeding or to get off the freeway. Luckily, that car got off first. Sometimes headlights can be TOO bright!

For everyone saying they don't know why cars have full-beam lights, it is for people who don't actually happen to live in a massive city where hardly ever leave. You put your lights on full when you're driving on the open road, and dip them if you are behind a car so they don't shine brightly onto their rear-vision mirror, or if you pass a car coming towards you. Its not illegal in New Zealand to have your lights on full in a built up area, but its a bit stupid if you clearly don't need them, street lights are bright enough!

Full beam lights are for when you are driving on the open road (as in, out in the country), and you should dip them if you pass a car coming towards you, or if you come up behind another car. Its not illegal in New Zealand to have them on full in a built up area, but its pretty stupid if there is plenty of street light, and ******* annoying and dangerous if there are other cars about!
