Well....using high beams during daylight is legal, recommended and yes still feels rude. Push the cager/gentleman out out of you. :teeth
Light em up while splitting in daylight. :banana
Better than revving the shit out of your shit.
I never remember to hit the high beams on purpose.

I've been riding with highbeams during the day damn near 100% of the time since 1985.
Anecdotal evidence: Over all this time I've had many conversations with other motorcyclists, some that take more risk (ride faster), some that take less, and I've noticed that I appear to have had less issues with other vehicles violating my right of way than they have had.
I agree that there are many other things that could be a part of this, but I'm still a firm believer in highbeams during daylight hours.

And I don't ever ride with high beams when it would be annoying to other road users and have had very few right of way violations by other vehicles. In fact, I can't think of a single case since I've been a BARF member.
Save the high beams for when you're not close to other traffic and put your efforts into identifying threats before they can violate your right of way.

You went to the bother of removing the capitalization from my post? :rolleyes
I go to the trouble to appear literate here and would appreciate it if you at least leave that part as it was when quoting me. :x

It's part of the anti-shouting filter on BARF. It's like an old man zealously guarding his lawn from "those darn kids".

Regarding the use of full beams during the day, a podcast the other day mentioned there are five generations driving today. A first. It’s not uncommon for drivers born before the mid-60’s to start to have cataract surgery. It’s a very commonplace, affordable, quick and low-risk procedure. And while it literally clears the vision, the light passing through the artificial lense is amplified to 11. Reflection off surfaces, other windscreens, misaligned headlamps and high beams cause discomfort and partial blindness. Food for thought.
I had cataract surgery in both eyes a few years ago. Highbeams during the day haven't been an issue for me. The only bight light that can be problematic (during the day) is the sun.

I haven't had eye surgery, and yet the sun can still be problematic. :rofl
