There are several High Schools close to where I live. One of the things I make sure not to do is ride my bike during the times when school is letting out. Nothing worse than having a shit ton of inexperienced drivers on the road thinking they are race car drivers or who are distracted with god-knows-what. It's even worse to be on a bike around them.

BTW, isn't it against the law to drive with your highbeams on, when it blinds or impairs other drivers? So, if this is true, then the PA State Police are advising you to break the law? Interesting. Doubtful, but interesting. BTW: Quote:

I and all my biker friends will continue to use high beams during the day as recommended by the Canadian Safety Council. And If it irritates a small percentage of 4-wheel drivers (who don't notice bikes or much else) and saves my life, that's a good trade. Whiners STFU!

I didn't read all of the replies but in our case (the wife and I) I don't use my highbeams except at night when no vehicles are coming toward me...my lights are bright and I don't want to blind anyone just like I don't want to be blinded.
However in my wife's case...she rides an R6 Yamaha sportbike and only one headlight comes on when the lights are not on bright so during the day she does run her highbeams and I told her to do it. Anything that helps you be seen is good and during the day it does not blind anyone. I hate that they designed them this way because when not running her highbeams...she is told constantly that she has a headlight out which is not the case. At night she only uses the highbeams when no traffic is coming toward her just as I do. |

I sometimes do it because it's hard to see at night with my tinted visor.
