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.


If you can't see an unlit car, you need to either see an optician or stop driving immediately. When I see someone like that I just flash to remind them to put them on.

Driving down an unlit road in fog or rain or blowing snow you don't
see them untill you are virtually on top of them. (it can be bad
enough when they are lit - particularly if the lights are covered in
dirt or snow)
