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.

Hey guys now what is the conclusion??. One of my friend from Europe recently travelled India. At once we both were travelling by a car in night (He was in front passenger seat). He just cursed Indian Traffic authorities for not taking any actions/initiatives OR control over it. He said that in Europe(UK) they have very strict laws for headlight power/illuminance. Dose any body from carwale help us knowing this ??.

@Pankaj, driving in your situation with high beam is OK (but NOT ultra bright lights) - as it is not within city and on highway roads where perhaps there's less lighting. In this case high beam helps to warn other drivers of your presence. However, it is (as a matter of courtesy?) recommended that the moment the opposite car is within visual range one must switch to low beam - in fact this is done by train drivers at night where they switch off the headlamp when the opposite train is close. That said, within city limits where the traffic density is high even on highways high beam or bright lights are just not needed - there is enough street lighting and enough number of cars to make an overall bright illumination of the roads.

Regarding laws, yes there are laws & regulations regarding lamp brightness - and this is followed by manufacturers (in their own interests, of course - why would they risk getting into trouble for a mundane thing like a headlamp?). However when it comes to public there is no enforcement at all - in fact is there any way for the ordinary traffic cop to catch a guy with bright lights and then actually go about proving it? Is it practical for him to ask someone to open the car's light so that he can see what the wattage markings are?




S = k.I^2, where S is the amount of stupidity a species possesses, I is the intelligence the species has and k is the universal constant of stupidity.

actually the high-beam/low-beam issue comes when you have some people driving high-beam on city road which are well lit with street lamps. In such a scenario you dont need high-beam for sure which obstructs view for oncoming traffic. On highways where there are no street lights and no scope for good illumination and visibility a high beam does make sense to see the objects that you mentioned. but in city road its definitely not needed.




Why break rules when following them is much easier!!!
