IMHO its for safety reasons and plain common sense. I only turn to low beam pag stop ako at kung nakita ko mga dadaanan ko sufficient ang lighting. BS talaga ang mga mahilig mag takumi attack. Hindi lang jeep pati mga van (minsan kotse) gumagawa niyan.

Stay safe people.

hmm... just noticed this one last night sa maharlika highway.

i was cruisin down the road tapos nakasunod ako sa truck. gusto kong mag-overtake sa truck pero nung pagsilip ko sa left, may headlight akong nakita, so i expected na may kasalubong, and bumalik ako sa likod ng truck. after a few seconds, sumilip uli ako, nandun pa rin yng headlights.

nung malapit na ako sa kanya, naka-park pala cya sa shoulder and the driver is buying something at a nearby sari-sari store.

mwahahah! naisahan ka nung lokong yun ah :bwahaha:

he probably put that headlight there for the sole reason of deterring overtakers

I shut it off minsan pag naka stop if my eyes are sore. May fog lights naman ako e so may ilaw pa din. I'd prefer the car at the back of me to close their lights too. If there are no cars in front of me pag naka stop then i just leave it open.

Ganun pala yun mabilis pala mapupundi yung bulb kapag ganun..Have to change my habit...

Ako inoovertakekan ko lang yung mga hindi nakabukas ang headlights lalo na mga jeep para mapilitan silang buksan ang mga headlights nila at magising sila.

Hindi takumi attack tawag ko dun kundi jeepney attack..hehehe

I’m all for the environment! My family driver even switches off the headlights in traffic. He says it will save battery.

Let me guess, he used to drive a Jeepney? Not just is this unsafe, it is like telling someone they will save money by taking off their glasses when they are not looking at anything. Hello?
