Default Fog

This morning's fog must have penetrated a few brains as well as the atmosphere. During my morning jog I lost count of number of cars, carts and bicycles with NO lights on.

What's it take? You may just save a live. Your own?

Rain. Dusk. Fog. Low visibility. Turn. On. Your. Lights.

Thanks for the vent

Scoreboard, I agree, people in general do not seem to understand turning on lights when it is raining, when it is dawn or dusk, during fog and other low visibility conditions is NOT for them to see BUT FOR THE REST OF US TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM.

I am amazed the number of people with grey/silver cars that refuse to turn on headlights, THESE CARS ACTUALLY DISAPPEAR IN FOG, etc.

Also, daytime running lights DO NOT TURN ON THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS!!!! The car behind you cannot see you!!!

My vent...............

If "lights on for safety" was good enough for Paul Harvey, it's good enough for me.
