Sadly, an approaching driver has the sun in their eyes. Dipped lamps shoud come on when the engines running automatically. All current bikes have dips hard wired to the ignition. |
I tend to have my dipped heads on most of the time, most of the roads round me are covered over by trees, there's never as much light as people think. Round some of the roads it's so dark under the trees that at miday my full beam lights up more road than the sun does.
On motorways I always have my dipped lights on. It's amazing how much quicker the brain reacts to a couple of car width dipped headlights than a car itself.
My mums old Saab had it's dipped heads wired into the ignition.
