Why would you drive with your high beams all the time?

Yeah, you probably won't get a ticket, but it is quite rude.

it is a violation anywhere, especially if conditions do not require the use of high beams.
Will you get a ticket? up to the officer who pulls u over.

You only get a fix-it ticket for having a headlight out right?
I guess that's up to the cop too.

wow.... if your headlight is out you BETTER drive with your highs on... i would rather **** people off and have a functional headlight rather then driving with one light. besides, i doubt many will know the difference. If your worried that much just stay in if and when its possible till tomorrow

I ended up driving with my highs on last night. I kept my distance from other cars hoping the glare won't get to them.

people that drive with their highbeams on are *******s... and regardless of how much you try to keep your distance, it will still blind people.
Something to keep in mind is that especially on a car with projectors, driving with your highbeams on generally increases the distance light projects, not so much side to side. Point being, it probably didn't even help that much if your concern was your field of view, not distance.

Driving with high beams on all day every day FTW.
