I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with correct use of bike lights?
I agree there are a lot of inconsiderate drivers on the road. Personally, I try to avoid being one, no matter what I'm riding
What it has to do is that there are (in my opinion/experience) more motorists on the road who are inconsiderate in how they use their headlights then there are cyclists doing so.
And I was suggesting that you honestly check out and evaluate the headlights on cars before complaining about the lights on bicycles.
When I've been out riding, I've had both motorists and pedestrians compliment me on my lights. One pedestrian said that with my lights I looked bigger than I was, and that from the rear that I looked like a motorcycle.
