Hehe.. I did something similar to a Meru cab here in B'lore. Didn't expect a chase, but he did chase me. A flyover came to my rescue!!
If not for the flyover, I was a goner! Learnt from my mistake big time, & never do that now.

4.also when the opposite vehicle is using high-beam which blinds me.
Exactly how & why I use the dipper switch too!

The googled information posted by a member is not relevant in the Indian driving/ riding context. The above 4 points pretty much sum up the use of dipper/ pass light in India IMO.

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back;
and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.
