Other drivers just don't see low beam.
The only time I will turn off the modulator is if I am running with a group other then leading so it doesn't annoy the other riders when they look in there mirror.
I always ran high beam during the day also, our local Sheriff's dept also recommends to do so. Like you I turn the modulator of while riding in a group for the same reason, and if a cager can't see 14 or 15 bikes coming down the road, the modulator ain't going to help anyway.

You're at a advantage being seen since there are no hills in your state.
Just sink holes, wild hogs, bugs, snakes ,crocs and all sorts of invasive critters :gig:
