Oh, I thought it is compulsory everywhere in the EU, because it is in Hungary and the Germans made Teresa this way. I was wrong then.
No, I don't turn it off (I can't do it to begin with) - but it went out once, riding on the main road 4 of Hungary (2 lanes with pretty heavy traffic). And yes, it was pretty dangerous, several drivers started overtaking heading towards me in my lane, sometimes I had to flee to the (paved, thankfully) shoulder of the road. I replaced the bulb immediately when I got what was wrong. (There's no law to carry spare bulbs anymore here, yet I do - and I don't regret it...) Especially that we got home at night, so having a lowbeam was crucial...
