It happens often enough for me to notice it. It's usually a particular street or two; based on elevation, angle and vehicle velocity.
I would say those who don't have it happen much are on fairly level streets - I also find it's usually the non-HID vehicles; trucks rate high on the list. They figure if it's bright I must have my brights on - I usually just pull back on the handle and let it ride till I get past them. If it's a long distance; I do extended pull's (1,2,3 - let off - 1,2,3). That's enough to make a new friend; one that follows you all the way home... ;-)
