The sharp cutoff on low beam is a good thing, provided the headlights are correctly aimed/adjusted. Drove for 11 years in Germany and never had an issue with blinding headlights, but then they all were properly adjusted. And, the European beam pattern, the sharp cutoff with the right shoulder projection, is SO superior to what the US DOT mandates. Agree with the poster above who commented that many in the US are probably using high beams because either they "don't like" the illumination provided by their low beams, or they are adjusted too low.
