It is raining. Turn on your headlights!

[nytemare]

That is all!

:crazy:

1. That white car you drive looks as grey as everything

else during the rainy season around here, and I can damn sure see your headlights better than your car. Your visibility is as impaired as mine (except my lights are on), so let's share the road safely. Not directed at, you nytemare, but those who haven't figured it out yet.

2. I've gotten to where I use my headlights even in the day.

I would hope that the driving public would want see other vehicles, as well as for other vehicles to see them.

Aren't there some cars that have the lights come on automatically when the wipers are on or when the light is low? Seems to make sense.

3. It's the law in California

If it's raining, your lights are on.

[nytemare]

4. It's the law here, too.

Unfortunately, it seems 1 in every 5 cars has no lights on, even in torrential downpours. Craziness.

11. New Jersey has had that law for decades, wipers on, lights on

It's not rocket science, but even in torrential rain, you see idiots without their lights on, or more precisely, struggle to see them.

5. What? And make it rain even harder? You know, every time it's raining,

I look around and I see all these numbskulls with their headlights on. What? Nobody can figure this out? It's so stinking OBVIOUS what's causing the rain

[madinmaryland]

6. What's even worse is the douchebags driving around with customized 5,000MW headlights

blinding the shit out of everyone on the road.

:grr:

[struggle4progress]

7. Yeah, you know when it's raining so hard that your wipers just can't

keep up, and you just can't see anything at all on the road as you drive along at 65 or 70, cuz everything is just this grey nondescript wall of water, sometimes you'll catch of glimpse of those big blinding headlights dimly through the torrential downpour and then you know who's really responsible for the hazardous road conditions :bounce:

[nytemare]

8. Or, they just use their brights in a fog.

Oh, I can't see! It's so foggy! Let me put my brights on. Wow, the fog got even worse now that my brights are on!

[TZ]

10. Around here people like to use NO LIGHTS in the fog!

Thats a lot of fun too. Especially on surface highways where traffic lights mean fairly abrupt stops. No wonder there are oodles of accidents in the fog...:crazy:

9. And slow down and quit tailgating.
