I know when my lights are on because they're
lighting up the ground in front of the ****ing car!

Not when you have turned them on when it was
dark, had the sun come up while using the car,
and then stop using the car rather later.

That happened to a friend of mine.

Yeah, I do it quite a bit, essentially because the garage sale run
normally starts in the dark because we like to show up at the ones
that are sposed to open at 7am at 6am and thats in the dark in winter.

Maybe about 20% of the time I find I still have the lights on later.

Not a problem with the Getz, it turns all the lights off when you turn
the ignition off and lock the car with the remote and beeps to remind
you that the lights are on when you do that in case you want to turn the
sidelights on again if you want them on with the car parked and locked.

We were driving to a party and staying the night we arrived
early about 5pm in daylight. When we got out of teh car a
regan IIRC it was beeping he had no idea why so ignored it.

Around 10am we attempted to leave and teh car wouldnlt start flat battery.

Yeah, the 73 Golf does let you leave the car with
the lights on and on a few occasions one of the
neighbours had told me that the lights are still on.

we think what happened is he put the lights on to go through blackwall
tunnel and forgot to turn them off after exciting the tunnel.

None of our tunnels need the cars to have their lights on.
One of the underground car parks under one of the shopping
malls does see some turn their lights on when in there, but
thats not to see where you are going, more to make their
car more visible to other people.
