You're not required to so if you do, its of your own volition.

Because there is a risk to you, dumbass. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

The entire point of those examples is that there is no help given by the driver ahead using their full beams. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

Oi - I've never suggested such a thing. In fact I've mentioned several times that you're wrong in that assumption.
