It (could be) fine overtaking if the following driver knows the road well, but don't you think it just a little unfair to not help the following drivers to be able to see past you? I don't believe for one second that HGV driver have any special ability to see beyond the end of their lights. I do accept that they do not travel that fast, but they need more room to stop - so main beam gives them extra warning of a need to stop or slow. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk
