You may not see a drunk pedestrian toeing the shoulder in time to apply your brakes. You're not seeing these impending disasters coming at you, while at the same time you're causing a potential disaster of your own when you blind oncoming drivers with your high-positioned left beam.
The beam pattern of a left-hand drive vehicle's light is designed to slope upward at the right beam, at the right side of the road, to illuminate all road signs and pedestrians, including stalled vehicles on the shoulder. The left beam is designed to slope down in order to prevent oncoming motorists from being blinded by high beams. For countries that use right hand driving, the opposite is followed: the beam slopes upward on the left while the right slopes down on the right.
