1069.0. "If you dont dip Ill blind you" by CURRNT::WRIGHT (LDIR can make the earth move) Mon May 14 1990 13:53

    Why am I the only person on the road who dips there lights before
    anyone else (so it seems). I get the impression that drivers are
    thinking "i'm not going to dip my lights until he does". So to try
    and gather a bit of evidence on this last night I tried not dipping
    my lights until the other car did. Out of the 10 times I tried only
    3 cars dipped theirs first, the other 7 just left main beam on until
    I had dipped.

    Bit of a contradiction here!
    
    If you tried NOT dipping, how did the other drivers leave their
    main beam on until after you had dipped?

    p.s.
    
    I find that the other drivers dip late n'all, even on right-hand bends
    when you can dip a little later anyway. What you really need is some
    10,000 watt blazers that you can turn on AS WELL AS your main beam,
    just to frighten the blighters!!
