Oh I get the idea....moronic as it is.  If, as you say,  it's a vain
hope why do you exacerbate the situation?  Sure looking towards the
ditch avoids the glare and minimizes your vision loss but leaving your
high beams on is just plain stupid if not criminal. Either the other
driver is "glare induced blind" or he, like you is looking at the
ditch.  Do you really feel comfortable or justified in blinding your
fellow motorist?  Driving at night is challenging enough without some
vigilante deliberately keeping his high beams on. Once again, as you
stated, "HOPEFULLY these morons will realize their error."
