Well no, not survival of the fittest - just a stupid race of one-upmanship.
All good points Rohit B.D . I think the root cause is somewhat different.
Yesterday, I drove about 200 Kms in the night.
My problems were - of course the bright light of on coming traffic.But,there are other hazards are in your own side of the lane.
A tractor - slow with one back red light.
People on bicycyle with no fluorescent warning signs.
tiny villages with residents crossing from one side to other.
The road signs covered with dirt.
Lastly, a pitch dark road.
If the highway or roadside lighting get improved- road safety will improve as well.
If you drive on low beam in poorly lit road you will not see the above mentioned hazards as they are beyond the beam of light. The drivers then have to switch to full beam which dazzles on coming traffic, their light dazes you you the driver cannot see anything at all.
