If you live in an area that is even marginally urban, you really do not need to drive with running lights, brights, and fog lights. You really really do not need to do this in the city. You absolutely do not need to do this during daylight hours.
In some places you are actually breaking the law having these many lights on at the same time anywhere.
If for some reason you do feel you need brights in a rural area, please turn them off the moment you see another vehicle approaching. Once they are beside you it is too late.
The number of times I have seen these things (and yes I am sure they were brights) in the last 24 hours is staggering. I know it is suddenly dark at 6am again, but seriously. Cut it out.
