Or, say you come up on the scene of an accident where a car has gone off the road at night. You pull your car off the road to illuminate the scene of the accident with your headlights but they stubbornly refuse, turning all the way to max deflection one way or another in an attempt to point at the road.

About a month ago I came upon this exact scenario and had to use my headlights to light up the wreck. Wouldn't have been great if they weren't cooperating.

Though I'm sure (I hope) there'd be a way to disable the GPS tracking.
