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

Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML

Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. FML

Today, the blinker on my car was broken so I decided to play it safe and drive a different car to work. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered which car I drove, as the cop nicely told me one of the headlights was out when he pulled me over. 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

If it's pitch black, the tiniest bit of light can make a huge difference, and you don't usually need to turn on the brighter of the lights.

no, you got a ticket for not dimming your lights and blinding oncoming traffic like the raging douche, or am I suppose to feel sorry for you?

Yeah op but regardless you're supposed to turn them down when another car comes. Obviously there was another car if someone was giving you a ticket...

It's illegal to have brights on in a residential area. On a main street or highway it is allowed if no street lights are on Reason being is it disturbs the whole neighborhood

What else were you doing while driving.

Huh. The only reason I can see it being illegal is if it's in the middle of a crowded city. Even the residential areas near me are surrounded by woods, and highbeams are usually the only way to avoid hitting a deer.
