When you overtake another vehicle at night why should you use low beams?

In the first place you should already be on low beams by the time you overtake because the high beams shining in the mirror are very uncomfortable and blinding for the car you are passing. This would be seen as common consideration for the comfort and safety of a fellow driver. If you can see a car at night either driving in the same direction in front of you or oncoming you should be using low beams in order to prevent blinding people.
