Driving with Brights On ?!?

[a_v_s]

Why do some people drive everywhere with their brights on at night? I've even seen some newer cars driving around in the daytime with their brights on..

Did the insurance companies start offering another discount for the daytime running bright light mod?

More specifically, 9 out of every 10 newer Acura TL's driving around here in Arkansas has their brights on at night, no freaking joke. When I am driving with someone, I usually point everyone out to them and they are like ?

Actually, the TL in that picture does NOT have his brights on... The inner lights are fog lights, not brights. If his brights were on, the inner lights will be off, becuase on the TL the fogs turn off when you click on the brights.

I happen to also own a TL in addition to my Grand Prix, so that's how I know. Whenever I drive the TL, every once in a while I'll get flashed... After I swapped out the fog bulbs with yellow bulbs, that stopped happening.

(And before anyone yells at me for driving with my fogs on, I need them to avoid hitting deer, becuase they are all over the place where I live)

I thought fog lights were supposed to be aimed low to the ground, not straight at other people's faces.

On a similar topic, I hate cars that use the high beam on lower voltage as a DRL. At dawn or dusk, when your eyes start adjusting to the low light but these people haven't yet turned their headlights on, their high beam DRL's aim right into my eyes.
