I have bad news... newer cars have automatic lights: the car swithes by itself between high and low beam. When I was in such a car, it kept high beam on even when another car was coming the other way. I told the driver that he should turn it off. He said: but they are automatic! Automatic or not, you are still responsible for what your car does. The problem is that these "features" are sold as beeing perfect by car manufacturers when in reality they barelly work.
