So what tiksie is saying is let's illuminate 5 metres in front of you to not blind incoming traffic, well that's just pointless. I don't even fully believe that anyway cause I've had a friend who's set it all the way down and there's still glare. It's just the characteristics of reflectors, light still leaks out cause there's no proper cut off.
