Obviously, those complaining have never driven on a mountain road at
2:00AM thru the fog.  Driving home to where I live, requires bright
and/or fog lights, in that I am usually going thru the clouds and
down again.  Also, a rule of the road I drive is when someone
flashes their brights behind you, they want you to move over.  I
drive a commuter road that is windy and mountainous and have rarely
run across a commuter who does not use that rule.  However, the 
tourists, now that is another story.  They will go 20 mph on a road
that commuters drive at 55 mph and will not move over even with
brights left on, honked at, or whatever.  And the road is too
dangerous to pass on.
