RichManSCTV Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Anyone else get really annoyed at people who drive with their full brights/high beams on 24/7 . I hate when driving and then a wall of light is coming at me. Who else is bothered by this? Subscribe to my Youtube Channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Baker Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Well, that's really pretty annoying but I understand why there're people who drive with lights when there's sunny weather for others. At first, that can be caused because of low graphics, when I was playing in my laptop I had very low graphics and everything was as dark there as I had to drive with lights. Second, that can be caused by WinterMod because it's pretty dark for me even on high graphics. Of course, there're people who drive with lights without any reason but I guess we can't do anything with that. Maybe only kick for high beams during the day until 16:00 or something similar.

HOSCHGELDIN Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I agree with you this is really very uncomfortable. When I see one of them coming, I set my headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positivetrucking168 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Quite frankly, I don't see any reason to have your headlights set to full beams in the middle of the day because there is no positive effect on driving to be had out of using full beams in the middle of the day, and neither should it be used in poor weather conditions because it only makes driving conditions worse. On that conclusion, I find users unnecessarily using high beams in inappropriate conditions to be quite concerning because they could potentially dazzle drivers, but it's not too concerning in this game though because the full beams are not as seriously bright as in real-life. By the way, I do drive with dipped headlights on 24/7 through Scandinavia and the Baltic regions to simulate the legal requirements of having to have your headlights on in those regions during the day, but I don't use the headlights in full-beam mode.

Melodies Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Yes, they're really annoying but they probably don't know when to use them / how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuly Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I hate this. It's so selfless to drive with those on, it really bothers people. If you do this, please stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Nomad Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 High beams should at least be dimmed if oncoming traffic approaches or if a vehicle drives ahead at a close distance. I use my headlights 24/7 based on the motto "better safe than sorry", and high beams only occasionally and always considering the above recommendation. Players that drive with high beams all the time do not bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber_Star Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I mostly have them turned on. But if i can see oncoming traffic i turn them off. Its a simulation game for a reason . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBTC - Raaphael Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes, it is very annoying the beam of white light that appears inside your truck. But that bothers at night when it comes a behind and with the high lights. I follow the same positioning as the @[TAL Founder] BlackSkill. > Raaphael < Veteran Driver VII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knusperschnitzel Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It is really annoying. I only have them enabled when it is night and nobody is in front or comming towards me. If somebody is there I disable them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreea RO Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It is quite annoying especially when they drive right and left like in a roller coaster without minding who is passing near them. It makes your brain go galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellZiF Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 When I see someone coming at me with high beams on, i just turn mine on and usually they get the hint. It's not necessary and honestly gives you no advantage to drive with them on, as long as you're following the speed limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 3 minutes ago, ellZiF said: as long as you're following the speed limits Please allow me to Most of the players who go all of the time with their 10-12 lamps on highbeam are the same ones who drive as fast as they can, no matter the road, no matter the traffic. If some people can't understand that switching off highbeams is just a token of respect towards other users of the road, what can we expect? That they will respect the speed limits? I drive by the speed limits and use my highbeams (I changed the "Brightness" setting, so at 10 p.m. it's pitch black on most open roads), but as soon as I see another vehicle approaching I change to regular headlights, same as I'd do IRL. There are players with lower-end machines, but there are also users with sight problems that can actually be hurt by a sudden light flash. In the end, it's all about respect and common sense, but IMO that's something 90% of the playerbase are lacking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, we're never going to have a perfect TMP but for the time being I'll just blind them the way they're blinding me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbledore001YT Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Oh yeah, they are very anoying My best friend XDmaster5000 also uses all of his lights all the time... I also said it to him but he does it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSirViking Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I actually do that. But only at night. WHen it is dark i turn on all lights and usually dont turn them off when people are coming since i dont really see the big problem. when people dose it to me it really dont create much light at me anyway so i wouldent think mine would be that big of an annoyance. So i usually dont turn them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinx001 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 i personally dont mind high beams although when its in the middle of the day then it can get annoying after a while, it completely blinds you which can cause multiple accidents and possibly get you punished, although the reason for the high beams on at night is simply because some people do not have that powerful of a pc meaning low settings cause the brightness to decrease.

NietDeKerstman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 when i turn them on in the night I usually forget to turn them off when its daytime again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I am used to 24/7 to turn on the low beam without turning on the high beam. For me, using a low beam light is fine. The high beam will only be used to remind those who are reckless driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie. Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yeah I feel bad for driving with my brights on but it is neccessary because otherwise I cannot see properly. What you rather have bright lights or someone ramming you because they cant see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Weather or time could be a factor but sometimes people seem to drive on with them all the time. It can be annoying sometimes indeed. When you need them, turn them on ofc. But I want to emphasis it could partly blind other drivers too. So only use them for their purpose, not for the show ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
