[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=doodlebug]I don't understand your post. Who has the high beams on...cars or bikes?

My pet peeve is anyone (car or bike) who isn't paying attention to where they're going and doesn't share the road or thinks they're the only one on the road...cars who don't check behind them before making a right turn and force a cyclist into a dangerous (potentially deadly) situation, cyclists who zig zag in and out of traffic, cars who aren't paying attention to where the rain puddles are and just wantonly splash through them soaking people on the sidewalk/cyclists etc. I don't own a car and only cycle when it's not raining and roads are dry so I don't have a dog in the fight.[/quote]

I think he is referring to people with really bright helmet lights - I have not seen them called high beams.   They can be annoying - mine are not that bright (but I don't ride in complete dark that much) and I try to look away briefly when passing someone (so my light points away from them).   Its not a completely black or white thing though, as turning aside is not always the safe thing to do.   [/quote]

OP here - thanks for clarifying however I did put CCT in the original thread.  I've been biking on and off in this town for 30 years and in the past 3 years have notice many who aren't careful while biking.  There isn't a week that doesn't go by without hearing about a bike accident, especially in the Spring, Summer and early Fall.[/quote]
