On very straight flat roads, like
Billabong to
Carnarvon, I have trouble knowing when to dip to low beam. Mostly the oncoming traffic is a road train with the driver sitting high above his lights. I certainly don't want to dazzle the oncoming traffic but if I dip as soon as I see lights I will be driving through kangaroo and livestock infested country for up to 10 km on low beam which means slowing to 75kph. If I go into a slight dip and can't see oncoming lights and go back to high beam then it looks like I'm flashing when I come out of the dip.
Apart from getting new eyes, has anyone got any tips for judging the distance to oncoming lights and when to dip ?
