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.



It is a peeve of mine too. I figure it is just stupidity. Fortunately,
many cars now have automatic lights that overcome dumb drivers.

Last week I was on the highway on a dark, rainy, early morning. The
blind spot detection lit up. Since I was alone on the road I figured
the rain was giving a false reading. Nope, some idiot with no lights on
passed me.

At least here in Canada with DRL laws, unless its
1) an OLD car
2) a car with electrical problems
3) someone driving with thepark light on
or
4) a "Yankee"

You will see him from the front - but not from behind.
