EDIT: Makes me more visable to driving "soccer mom asshats" that drive big SUVs & Vans that they don't know how to drive!!!

I think that they think they are driving a tank or something

Nothing against big SUVs or anything....mainly just the female drivers who (attempt to) drive them

I just CAN NOT stand it when it's a small woman driving a big SUV (like an Expedition or an Excursion)......they seriously must think it's a tank and can run into anything or do anything.

Half the time they can't even park the damn thing correctly!

And watching them back out.....grab a pillow.....because it takes forever!

High beams alway's, in the hopes that I might be seen better. However, my bike is yellow and black, I usually wear a bright yellow coat, and I used to wear a yellow and black helmet. That being said, I have been riding along next to a Ford Excretion in the SoCal area, waved to the kids in the back seat, made blatant eye contact with the little female driver, then had her try and merge right over on top of me. Combat boots make a nice impression in sheet metal I might add. Thank god you can split traffic in Cali.

High beams always on during daylight hours. Same reason I added HID's to my bike, like others mentioned to help me be more visible to other drivers (plus help me see at night too!). At night I run the low beams cuz my lights on high beam WILL flat out blind you, and that's not good at night!
