Default Time to ban "brights feature" on headlights?

I drive on many unlit local roads and need the high-beams to see the
road ahead and am not a deadly criminal speeder.

But those who don't turn off the high-beams when they approach a car (in
either direction) are rude. The ones approaching you can be alerted by
flashing your lights, but the ones in back of you are more difficult
since they blind you for a longer period of time and there's no obvious
way to tell them to lower their lights.
