Anyway, don't blind cars coming up from behind you

On the other hand, cars are more likely to dim their lights for bikes with bright headlights than they will dim them for ones with dim headlights (and the bike should do the same)

Good point. I find that when I ride on high beam and a car comes into view, I dim the light, and that makes them very happy and they will do the same.
