If it is a foggy morning, put your headlights on, morons

Also, and this is a pretty revolutionary idea here, some people might also want to consider turning them on at night time.

No people just need to know why their car has headlights, they have one job. It's so people can see you. The fact that they also help you see is just a side effect.

And if your car has driving lights, good idea to alter the settings so they are always on. That way if you forget to put your headlights on, people have a chance of seeing you

Driving lights must be connected to only activate when a vehicle’s high beam is turned on, however, like me, I’m sure you’ve noticed plenty of drivers using them at the same time as low beam. (from Practical Motoring)

Yeah nah get fucked.

Daytime running lights, on the other hand ... you might be visible from the front - but they don't turn tail lights on. The number of nufties I see driving up and down Eastlink clearly thinking they have their headlights on is absolutely maddening.

Sorry that’s what I meant. Daytime running lights.

Not really, I hardly ever see someone forgetting to put their headlights on at night, they tend to get beeped pretty quick and turn them on.

It’s dusk and pouring rain that’s way more of a common safety issue, especially if your car is GREY jeeez!!!

Revolutionary idea yes, but some fuck head car pilots would be better off not turning on their lights at all, because they turn on the wrong set of lights, they turn on their blinding lights not low beam, non blinding cut off's.

Now that it’s winter, and my 3yo is actually awake sometimes when it’s dark, even he asks if we have the headlights on when it getsdark.

When I was in Florida in the rain they drive with their hazards on. It is a very weird place

Yeah, because insulting people will encourage them to heed your advice.

If you drive without them on you deserve to be called a moron

And consequently they won't turn their headlights on.

You sound like someone who doesn’t drive with his headlights on

And there it is.

I was merely pointing out the flaw in your post. You're welcome.
