Explain the choice of the verb “dip” in “dip your lights” @Joe... Finally, I would like to encourage you to be a little less scathing of fellow-users in your answers/comments. |

Explain the choice of the verb “dip” in “dip your lights” @Joe You may want to note that on many vehicles, when the "high beams" are lit, they are lit in addition to the "low beams," thus earning them the commonly used title (in the US) of brights (as opposed to dims, which would indicate that only a single filament is lit). A simple Google search should show its prominent use. Furthermore, I question your assertion that the ability to drive and a technical comprehension of illumination technology are directly related. |
