I've kept out of the main beam discussion because I honestly don't
expect anything decent from a lorry driver.

I'm having a very wild guess here but I suspect that on any given day
in the UK the percentage of drivers unable to speak English is higher
than the percentage unable to speak English working in any other
industry.

They're not used to people wanting to have the road lit up for them
before they overtake, they're used to cars just pulling out and going
for it regardless of any hazards in the way. You've also got to
remember that plenty of these retards don't waste their time looking
in their mirrors as often as we'd all like them to so if you're
waiting to overtake you need to make sure your main beam is clearly
visible to the driver.

Having a go at the method one uses to post on Usenet is the last refuge
of the loser of the argument.

I'll leave the "superior smug" to those who are best at it, namely bikers.
