Actually, you should have your headlights OFF except at night.

There are several tens of millions of reasons for this ~ among them are the elderly for whom any increase in the level of glare is an unmitigated disaster. Whether they are passengers, pedestrians, or even drivers, any reduction in their visual accuity is not advisable.

Even for folks who have no vision problems, there's always that rear-view mirror. Really nothing quite like an SUV behind you with his highbeams on ~ that's the OTHER disaster ~ too many people don't know how to switch to their low beams. Last thing we want to do is advise them to turn on their headlights.

I don't know how many times I've seen a car coming down the road at me in the middle of the day with headlights so bright I get a headache just looking at them, and it turns out to be granny gumms hunched over the steering wheel squinting through the windshield with her beady little eyes. I can't for the life of me figure out how bright headlights in the middle of the day helps the elderly see any better.

Except for the highbeams, your post is wrong.
