	And if he runs you off the road?

	As I've said, I use my main beams myself to aid conspicuity, and I'm
sure I piss off the occasional cager myself, but there is a point of
diminishing returns.  For example, the VFR rider who followed me for
twenty minutes in heavy traffic with his main beams on.  I had noted his
presence in the first couple of seconds; by the time he finally passed
me I bore him considerable ill will.

	Being selective also means that you're thinking more about your
situation in traffic, always a good thing.
