Just about pulled out in front of a car with lights out early this morning.
Not even parking lights. A few seconds earlier...

Why do these people drive with lights out? Save gas - engine runs easier
without generating electricity for lights? Seems I've seen many more of
them in the past year for some reason.

Breeding more of them in your area too?

Sorry to bother you all. Had to vent somewhere.





My car is set to automatic and the lights go on and off as needed.

That said, if it's very dark, it's odd they don't notice that they can't
see anything

Police officer nephew and ex-cop brotherinlaw say drivers without
lights are WAY more likely than average to be impaired. Pull over an
unlit vehicle and way better than 50/50 you get a dui charge out of
it.
