At least you do that. There is a lot that don't and they are the one's that dazzle me. Just remember, my comments are just my opinion and not necessary aimed at your behaviour alone.

Good Lord Sgt, what sort of tool do you take me for!  As for their performance, they do just fine lighting up the SIDES of the road where the critters come from and provide 'fill'....hence why I feel safe enough not to use the highs.
Lows alone just dont work for me at 100km/h. Sheez you try and show some courtesy to other road users and people jump on you, whatever is the world coming to....

Considering you live at Gawler, we must drive the same roads. I actually live out in Tanunda and take the train from Gawler to work. I drive out along the Sturt Highway and along Gomersal Road back home. I personally prefer to use the high beams to light up the sides of the road and the road in the distance so I can see the animals and potholes on the road, rather than just low beams. Even on the Peugeot which has fog lights, I'd rather use the high beams and light up the whole countryside so I have that visibility, naturally dipping them for oncoming cars. I'd rather see for 1km or so in front of me rather than a few hundred metres that the low beams do. Much easier to see changes in conditions and gives you more time to react.
Oh, and if you see my stolen hubcaps on the side of the road, can you let me know?
