[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now everyone has those daytime running lights, I can't tell if it's a funeral procession. So don't throw me dirty looks when there's a huge gap and I have to merge [/quote]

Huh. When I read the OP I was thinking that I can't even remember the last time I saw one. Maybe they've been happening around me all along and I just thought it was people with their daytime lights on and I've been ignoring the etiquette. If that's the case...SORRY![/quote]

Funeral processions put headlights on, but now they've been adding black flags and using hazards too in some places. (ugh, clearly I've been to too many funerals).[/quote]

I grew up in Midwest and the process was to turn headlights on (in an era when folks didn't do it during the day) and affix the black flag to the antenna. When I moved to the East coast (so many decades ago), I rarely if ever saw the flags. With nearly everyone driving cars where the lights may automatically turn on with the flip of the ignition switch, I have no idea of discerning if I am approaching a bunch of cars with their lights on or a bunch of cars with their lights on [i]in a funeral procession[/i].

Hit submit too quickly.

When I do realize it, I do muse about the story of the deceased and the family/friends, if any. I remember a procession for a fallen firefighter when living on Capitol Hill. It was held on a Saturday and the firetrucks went on forever. People gathered along Pennyslvania SE. Some had wandered onto the scene while others were there to pay their respects. I started as the former and ended as the latter.[/quote]
