What kind of little puffy-cloud world do you live in? Some of us have to drive routinely on interstates at night, and actually, I love it. It's not as busy, the roads are generally well lit, and are open enough to where you don't have to worry about suddenly ending up in a ditch or whatever--it's wide and easy to see where it's going. Small back roads can be more challenging, but that's exactly why you need to know how to use your damn headlights. Some of us live in areas where we have to drive on small, unlit back roads every day, and even we generally slow down and use the high-beams. For someone like yourself who apparently only has to go on back roads every few years, it's even more vital that you know how to use the brights, since you aren't as familiar with navigating them. It's not hard--learn it, practice it a few times, and stop operating a vehicle until you learn to use it properly.
Sincerely,
The Other People On The Road
