When driving at night have some respect people. Dip your frickin headlights. And more to the point, dip them in time. If you can see my headlights up ahead and you’re still on full beam – it’s too feckin late. You’ve already blinded me. Thanks. You’re also hated by me.

Seriously, I don’t know how many times this keeps happening lately but people don’t seem to understand the problem. If you rely on seeing cars before dipping your headlights then you’ve already caused the problem. It’s simple to look for approaching lights ahead. It just takes a little observation.

It doesn’t really matter if the cars off a fair way in the distance. If you can see the cars headlights or tail lights, dip your feckin headlights. If you don’t do this, you are blinding the other driver and making things worse for everyone.

Whilst I’m on this one WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE PAST THE FECKIN CAR BEFORE PUTTING YOUR FULL BEAMS BACK ON… Arghhhhh. By putting them on again just ahead of passing the car or as you are passing – you’ve still blinded the person and what’s worse, not given them an option to vent their fury as you pass.

It’s easy – so why do so many people have such trouble with this. Well, it’s because they don’t spend half as much time actually paying attention as they should. Reactionary driving ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH. You should be proactive.
