I have my headlight mounted so it shines on the road straight in front of me. My helmet light shines where I am looking. I only deliberately light up other people with my helmet light under certain situations:
a) bike ninjas
b) drivers who look like they might be about to pull out in front of me
c) oncoming drivers who can't find their dimmer switch with both hands
These are for me to see and be seen. If someone else wants to see and/or be seen then they need to get better lights. Not my problem.
I wish bike ninjas would be ticketed for at least the cost of a decent set of lights.

This is the best suggestion on this thread.
