> Do people in the EU consistently behave politely and turn them off when appropriate?

In the EU countries I usually drive in, yes they do. If they don't, you turn your own high beams on until their turn theirs off and generally they do it within a second or so, they had probably just forgot them.

One point here: nowadays most new cars have auto high-beam which turns off almost immediately when it senses light coming from the opposite direction. Some higher-end models have matrix led lights which allows them to have the high-beam on even when there's oncoming traffic and they turn off just some parts of the beam to avoid blinding the opposite driver.
