Anyone ride with high beams on all day

 

Friend of mine took a MC safety course and they said use high beams(daytime)
because drivers still do not see you.  That was after I told him a lady
almost creamed while I was going straight from a stop light and she was
turning left.   It's not fair that everything I do has to do with correcting
drivers poor habits but it is true.
    What do you do for survival and has anyone taken a safety course that
can shed some light?

thank you in advance

 


Drivers of cages are more apt to notice changes like a low to high
beam continuous flashing across dangerous intersections with brainless
cages ready to kill us.

For that reason, I weave a bit across the lane when approaching a cage that
might turn in left in front of me.  And I've noticed that some poorly aimed
cycle headlights can be annoying on high beam, even in daylight.

Annoyed is better than unaware, I think. Whether I leave my high beams on
during the day depends on the entire situation. If I'm in a city with lots
of traffic, then yes. If I'm in a less populated area, with less risk of me
not seeing that someone is about to turn left in front of me, then no.

The flashing headlights are more effective, but could be illegal.

Also if you add a pole on the back end, with a big red light, that might
but better as you could be mistaken for police, but leave out the bulb out.
