Using brights on the interstate?

[nicname]

What is the typical protocol on this? I usually don't use the brights on the interstate, because I've never really known if it's kosher or not. Too much traffic to constantly be flipping them on and of most of the time. On the other hand, interstate roadways, especially in Kansas are separated by enough median that I'm not sure if brights really effect oncoming drivers.

I thought of it this morning while driving home from work, tired, and not wanting to smash into any deer.

Good person protocol is don't, I believe

I use them and turn off when there is an oncoming car, even with a separated margin.

It depends on the totality of the circumstances.

eff people who leave them on while cars are oncoming.

The worst.

Asking for a brake check imo.

[Phil Titola]

I hate when oncoming cars think my normal lights are my brights and flash me and are all probably telling their passengers "look at this jerk not turning his brights off"....so now I'm known as a jerk in that whole car for doing nothing wrong.  Really bums me out.

Is this really thread worthy?

Isn't this just basic knowledge to turn them off when oncoming is near and when people in front of you get close?

What if it's like on 177 between Lincoln and Manhattan and you haven't seen another car in a long time?

That's a highway not an interstate stupid

[Stevesie60]

It goes from Nebraska to Kansas, so by definition it's an interstate.

Flip your rear view mirror and turn your side mirrors until they are perpendicular to your car. That gets then to turn them off in a hurry.

Not on the list pal. You drop a dumbbell on your brain?

Probably a better argument than 177

Well, I see you're still upset that I ruined your relationship with j-dub by pointing out your glaring crush on Tobias.

Would this be considered an interstate love triangle?
