You can see very clearly where the higher intensity area of the beam cuts off, and he probably doesn't get flashed by oncoming cars.
If only there were some sort of signal other drivers could make to indicate my beams were too high!

Xenon lights actually have a lower cutoff on the drivers side because the designers were aware of onlooking from the opposite direction (and on the left of the car in the U.S.)
WTF. How on earth would you know whether drivers going in the opposite direction were being blinded by your lights?!
