Really? I'm not sure blinding an oncoming driver or indeed focussing their attention on something to hit is necessarily the best approach in this situation.

If I used headlamps it would only be for long enough to announce my presence. Otherwise target fixation might kick in.
Gareth wrote:I think main beam doesn't cause target fixation since target fixation requires the driver to be looking in that direction to the exclusion of everywhere else. Much more likely, I think, is that the driver will look away from the headlights, (while being very much aware of them), so they'd be more likely to steer away and/or take other avoiding action.

If you're on a night dive, shine your torch on someone else and watch the sharks swim directly at them.
