Then.... how do you turn your lights off at night? Or in a truckstop parking lot? Come on .... take a look on your toggle panel. It's gotta be there somewhere.
Now... I haven't driven every make of truck. But, I DOUBT there is one out there that doesn't have a toggle switch for their headlights! The "Marker Interrupt" switch is for your running lights.... to say thank you.
Flicking your lights to BRIGHT is just being lazy. I'm SURE each of you has a switch to turn your headlights on and off (while leaving your running lights ON for awareness) to tell a brother when to pull over.
Personally, I don't CARE if you flick high to low! I don't stare in the mirror, so I'm never blinded. But, this is NOT the preferred method. Most who use it, do it so fast, I miss it! I'd RATHER see the lights go off and then on again.
Fog lights? Yeah, they can be a bit much at times. But, I agree that on lonely, desolate highways they illuminate the roadside better for seeing deer BEFORE they cause you to cause a deadly accident!
Hey... I got an idea! How about flicking your "road lamps" (fog lights) on and off as a courtesy to a passing truck?? Naw.... that won't work! He's not looking anyway! He'll STILL pull over before he's cleared your bumper, leaving you in his "backwash!" EVEN THO he has 2 miles of open road ahead and behind him!!! :evil:
The only problem with truck drivers is that so many of them are just 4wheelers with a CDL! You can't TEACH common sense, courtesy, or professionalism! You either HAVE it.... or you DON'T!!!
