Hey #PDArmy, we hope this helped you understand how to use your highbeams! Do give the video a Like if did, and tell us below what more we should simplify.
Thanks for making such a useful simplified episode which i requested and thought will help a lot of people. It will really educate a lot of people how to use their headlights effectively and will reduce a considerable risk of accidents in nights.
@@roshan9090able It is because when the car is started it idles at 1500 rpm at the beginning to make the engine rise to a optimum temperature so that it can run effectively and settles down at a lower rpm later when the engine reaches a optimun temperature.
4 types of people i hate on the road 1. People who turn suddenly without even using turn signals(especially auto drivers) 2. People who dont even look both ways before entering a road(especially elders and women and the blame in case of accidents will go on others, especially if they have an expensive car/fast bike) 3. People who cross the road in slow motion as if the road is their father's property 4. People who dont switch to low beam on traffic. Whenever i see such idiots, i instantly switch to high beam and make sure he/she is irritated by me as well.
Yeah, high beam from wrong side too: imagine the confidence! Adding two more: driving in center lane at 30kmph and no response to horn or anything and these will be the first to overtake and cross your path after signal, forcing you to brake: sometimes may end up being hit from behind. Very annoying.😬
The 4 point😆.. I literally do the same not just to make the other driver feel the same, but switching to high beam in such situations will improve our visibility as well.
Thank you Shumi, I have been telling this to everyone. It's all about driving ethics/ etiquette and now I can refer them to your video that's it's a conscious decision we all have to make for our own safety and others. Thank you again for making a video on this.
This is exactly what I've been doing as I ride. Keep it on high-beam, but as soon as there is any sorta traffic, be it a pedestrian , I switch down to low-beam. No inconvenience to others.
Chances are, most of the ppl watching this video uses high beam responsibly, because we're enthusiasts, hence we take riding/driving quite seriously & mindfully...
Many of them dont even knw that vehicles have such things like low and high beam😂😂😂 if they are running on high then they will stay on high no matter what or how many times u signal them with ur dipper 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for these videos. I know many people who don't even know the difference between high beam and low beam. Some don't even know that such things exist. These videos should be added to the process of getting a learner's licence or actual license.
Thanks alot sir for explaining this, as a rider with glasses i understand how inconvenient It can be to have vehicles on heigh beam coming up to you constantly....love this series, i try to apply what I learn here & so far I felt that m improving as a rider ❤️🙏
Great topic... I used to think I was being weird for switching the beams 3million times... Do speak about the roles of the lanes in a multi lane road... (Which one is for slow vehicles as sometimes they cruise very slowly in the fast lane which is risky)
I used to say the same to my friends but they laugh and don't agree They have their own logics but I have been following the same from many years. Thanks Shumi, people should really need driving test before they get their driving licence
When I was blinded by the opposite vehicle's headlight at slow speed (10 - 20kmph) once, I switched off the low beam by leaving the parking lamp alone; this greatly improved my vision. NOTE: NEVER TRIED THIS WHILE I WAS CRUISING.
This video should be a mandatory watch for everyone on the road, riders or drivers, regardless of the vehicle. In fact, the government should make everyone who can drive see this as a statutory warning, like how they show us cigarette warning videos before movies. Thanks, Shumi and PD, for making this video.
That's why I always hate aux lamps. Most of the people install them without bothering about in what inclination they are being installed and that's why most of the aux lamps blind the oncoming trafic. It can be preventing by installing them as lower on your motorcycle as possible and taking care of the inclination. As usual, great video, Shumi.
The thing is most people are lazy to switch constantly between low and upper light. If you are lazy please drive on low always. The best to ride no doubt is switching between the two
People, like moths, tend to go towards the light. I mostly ride in the city and Kolkata is a well enough lit city, so I almost always use the low beam. But if I go on the highway at night, then I use the high beam and dim it whenever I see any vehicle. But, many people don't know how to dim a high beam and constantly dazzle everyone. The truckers are the best drivers, at least at night time. If they are coming up in front of me on a narrow road and I can't see due to their lights, I just press the pass button twice and they dim their lights until I pass. I just wish everyone knew the basics of light signals, using the pass light is not always asking them to get out of the way. It's always nice to have you educate us on these simple things @Shumi, thank you.
Great great vid ! Finally someone is speaking ABT it on the social media platform.. hope this reaches out to all those blithering idiots who don't have the basic driving etiquettes. Many tyms the oncoming traffic just don't switch to low beam even when you have been constantly signalling them by your own headlights... And only a very few do understand and actually switch to low beams.
Thank you, power drift to make this point simpler. I have one more point if thats not covered in the past videos. "How to manager cars and bikes while riding on mountains. And to start the motion if you are on a steep slope"
It's just a matter of common sense, I've been riding for only 2 Years now, but I'm following all of these from the very beginning. But I've seen many people (some of my friends too) are too lazy / ignorant to follow these etiquette.
Emphasis on the word Shumi used.. "Etiquette". That's what's missing these days. People just forget that they have switched on high beams. I have seen people running high beams inside the city AND in broad daylight.. 90% of the time I walk past a parked bike/scooter, the high beam switch is on there.. we need to make people understand and get rid of the "baki jae bhar me.. mujhe pura rasta achhe se dikhna chahiye" attitude. Let's not even start with retro fitted LEDs on older vehicles. Their low beams feel like high beams!! I'm sorry it's more of a rant than a comment... It's just that nobody speaks about this very etiquette and common sense that people lack so much today. Thanks for bringing this up! We need more people like Varun on the roads!!
4:35 This is too polite for the Indian roads, people use much more adjectives in this situation XD... BTW nice video Shumi, you are doing a great job by educating all of us.
Interesting he says we don't use high beams enough. In Kerala, everyone just drives with high beams on and like 2/10 people even bother to switch to low beam. I even started to wonder if I was doing the right thing switching to low beam for incoming traffic at this point. Asking my friends, they all say that they began dimming for everyone but after seeing how nobody on the other side does the same, why should they. One thing I say to everyone who gives me that answer is that it's called courtesy and it's how you teach other people to do the same. Showing ego on the road changes nothing.
I think there is a new problem. New BS6 bikes have their headlamp on low beam always on, I think people are unaware of this and still follow the practice of switching on their headlamps at night but they are actually turning on the high beam instead. People must be properly briefed before taking delivery of such vehicles.
Thank God.. I've been using it the right way.. On my car.. As well as on my bike ❤ .. Thank you for this Video.. More people should know this.. That etiquette is everything.
Great topic Shumi. Hope this helps people understand why high beams are needed and when exactly to dip them. The point on conscientious riding is so important. Thank you.
Great video, I wish people understand this simple concept. But many people are even lazy to switch off the highbeam. Even I broad daylight I have seen people using high beam leave alone night. Also I feel many people don't know also that things like this exist in their vehicles (cars bikes or whatever).
Most people esp in scooters, in my experience, just leave it on high beam, probably haven't switched to low beam in years :) Anyway they are not the people who will frequent powerdrift, unfortunately.. and are unlikely to see this video. Wonderful video as always!
Flickering the lights helps you get the dazzle out for a split second, helps you see better. Which should be enough to get you past that vehicle. Let me know if anyone else does this!
I look down immediately and keep my eye on the path reflectors or painted lines.. gives you a fair idea of where the road is going... Also slowing down a bit just to be safe sometimes.
This is such a basic basic thing which everybody just does not seem to care on the road but thanks for actually doing this. Someone had to say it out loud
I have one suggestion about this topic. If we are heading to a corner, use high beam to give your presence on the road for the oncoming traffics. On corners, Low beam lights have shorter light area; thus you have to respond even faster if the oncoming traffics are taking the corner through our side. But if we are using high beam; it's cover long distance thus it's shows our road presence also we got enough time to respond even the oncoming traffic is on wrong side too
Lord Shumi, please enlighten us on the different types of suspension settings - load, preload, rebound, etc. I personally find them quite confusing. Thank you!
Hi Shumi, it was a very helpful video. I hope everyone watches this video and learns something from this. Also, I request you make a simplified video on different types of fuels(Unleaded Petrol, Power Petrol or Shell Unleaded Petrol, V-Power Petrol), their advantages, and which type of fuel is best for which category of bike. And also it would be great if you could make a video on how to use the horn or how to honk in traffic as many idiots just keep on honking for no reason.
Perhaps a guide for beginners on how to select good gear would be appropriate? Or a video every year listing the best beginner gear for different stuff?
People driving with high beam on express highway ways are fine but people use high beam while driving on city roads as well, which is not a good thing If you can highlight this as well it would be great
The problem with many vehicles today is the AHO- Always Headlight On. It is absolutely unncecessary in Indian circumstances. It eliminates the off switch for headlight which makes the riders unaware of the light coming from their vehicle as they don't have to bother about turning it on at dusk. They'll put on high beam night and day. Dawn and dusk hours get extremely unpleasant and inconvenient due to this as our eyes are only adjusting to the changes in ambient light. Why is government implementing AHO instead of DRL is the important question. Even if AHO is discontinued there will still be several vehicles on our road which have AHO.
Hey Shumi tell us more on things to take care while going on long rides from your experiences and people at pd this would really aid rookie tourers like me
I always use low beam, even on highway but I randomly tap the switch of high beam and it makes both the beam light up. It gives me the idea of what's ahead on the road along with what's on the ground. On curvy roads high beam is must.
Perfectly spoken. But wish more people had common sense about when to turn it off. Lots of the times in two way roads without dividers and lane reflectors, I've gravely been dazzled by on coming traffic and causing me to slow down due to the uncertainty of the path.
this series is outstanding!! can you do an episode on the issue of valve adjustments? are they really needed? how much they should cost? how often should you do it? are there signs that your bike needs a valve adjustment? i am leery of giving my bike to a shop where the service requires the kind of tear down that a valve service takes.
I do not ride on the highway during night time so Kudos I'm always on low beam. Very rarely in the cities do I end up using high beam so I'm more like a Varun type rider in this case 😅
I get your sentiment, but I somewhat agree. We have streetlights to illuminate area ahead of you, if not, if the road isn't properly lit, sure go ahead, use high beam, else, don't. Its more of a detturant than using. People don't understand the standards of signaling when to lower their beams either. So its better they dont rather than blinding the oncoming traffic
I see most of 2 wheeler riders using constantly high beam dazzling the vehicle coming from opposite side. They don't care literally in the streets I seriously don't think there is much of a need to use high beams .
High beams are very essential to see stationary vehicles parked illegally beside the road especially the trucks. With low beams the reflector of the trucks doesn't lighten up.
Use low beam while someone is in front ! & Switch back to highbeam again, as simple as this But in India 1, Poopal use high beam constant 2, people use low beam always & bang due to low visibility . Keeping a balance is the key !!
Wonderful @Shumi, using high beam etiquette you've mentioned has tremendous help in curvy hilly roads. Can you also simplify driving etiquettes in wet/foggy/rainy season especially in the areas receiving really heavy like Sohra (Meghalaya). Thanks PD.
Problem with this in India is, we are not big on etiquette or following rules. And I have literally never seen anyone who isn't using high beam. May be its just a cultural differences kind of thing. But my respect towards Varun just increased a lot..
Can we please get a video with the information on types of brake pads? I've been thinking of changing my stock setup to sintered ones but don't know how that will affect my rotors.
Hey #PDArmy, we hope this helped you understand how to use your highbeams! Do give the video a Like if did, and tell us below what more we should simplify.
Please take my question:
WHEN A CAR IS COLD STARTED WHY THE RPM RISES TO 1500 AND GRADUALLY SETTLES AT 800?
Thanks for making such a useful simplified episode which i requested and thought will help a lot of people. It will really educate a lot of people how to use their headlights effectively and will reduce a considerable risk of accidents in nights.

Agreed that ethics and etiquette is needed while using high beam. It's strange that riders use high beam in a well lit city road condition.
