What is the law about driving with your high beams on during the daytime?

The laws vary from state to state. I'm sure some states have laws that prohibit this. They can be pretty blinding during the day as well as night. Here is my common sense view. Never drive with your high beams on, unless it is night and you don't have oncoming traffic. Don't use high beams when it is foggy. Don't use them during the day. My gosh, they make special low power daytime running lights for daytime use. If you don't have these, use your low beams.
