What do you guys do if you're driving west at sunset? Pull over and wait till its dark?

Put down the sun visor on my helmet and deal with it, by looking partially away, which isn't an option when something suddenly appears in front of you.
Do a search for my rant on people who can't seem to predict that the sun rises in the east, so they might just need sunglasses in the morning, if it's still somewhere on this site after all these years.

I usually shift over to the right as far as possible, and maybe engage in some light weaving, to maximize my visual presence. I've seen people who flip on their highs in these types of situations. It makes it harder for me, as a driver, to gauge their actual distance as all I see after they do that is hazy light. God help me if that light is blue-ish purple HID nonsense.
I find it distracting. Do you want distracted drivers out there?
DRL's help me to see you, full on high beams help me to not see you.
The other thing I noticed is some of the high beam always advocates really don't like it when you high beam them back - and that's with an 8 year old vehicle with standard lights.
Ignorance is curable, Apathy not so much, but I don't care, I'll try anyway.
I'm on team no high beam.
They are annoying. Go team go.
Forget world peace. Visualize using your turn signal.
I didn't realize this was such a controversy.
The dealer I bought my first bike from suggested I run the high beam during the day, and so I did.
Team High Beam during the day
.
I've heard people brag about running someone who "highbeamed" them off the road. Then again I've heard people here brag about running from police and breaking off mirrors, so I'm not sure, but I've seen people do crazier thinks for what I thought was much less provocation.

dude, you do realize you actually may create an accident by blinding someone with HID's, there is also the problem that you may end up getting a driver to "target fixate" on your very bright light and they may cross the centre line..
just for kicks try googling "high beams makes perception of distance harder"
good luck
