There's something else which I would like to explain but have trouble articulating. Its kind of like an ability to see better at night because you do so much of it. > I'd guess that being professional drivers they know they're making it > harder for people, No. > so is it just that they like keeping everyone behind > them, or are they just too lazy to flick between full & dip? It is a > serious question btw. They have no need to put full beam on. Its not being lazy or doing it to be annoying - its just that they don't feel the need to. As for not apparently being able to overtake at night unless the driver in front uses full and dipped beam, I would suggest the deficiency lies with the person wanting to do the overtaking - I've never found it an issue as a car driver. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced.
