Here is the thing. If it is dark, (or close to dark), why are some of you wearing dark clothing and or no reflective clothing and no lights of any kind?

You do understand the same people that wipe out light poles and drive through concrete walls are some of the same people driving in the dark right?

Remember, while walking it has nothing to do with how well YOU see while walking. It is about what everyone else doesn't see.

Wake up people. Smarten up a little.
I've taken to yelling "Darkwad" in situations like this. If it works on the playa it can work in The Villages.

Urban Dictionary: Darkwad

I can't agree with you more, It is surprising how common this incredible dangerous behavior is.
