My buddy used to do that until i made him ride ahead of me for a few miles on a trip with my high beam glaring in his rear view. he stopped after that. daylight, you absolutely can blind someone with a high beam if its aimed in their eyes.
No one is going to change their habits, but its worth taking into consideration.
That triangle of light was a night and day difference (no pun intended) for riding at night. I actually wanna go to either bigger auxilary lights or add maybe a small 4-6 inch bar somehow near the horns on the CB.
We have a TON of deer out this way and some of the towns further east are up to 241 car vs deer accidents just this year. So I like having alotttt of light down range and to the sides if I ride at night. Luckily we don't have to deal with Moose like up North. When I get north of the white mountains we just don't ride at night because the Moose are too dangerous.
