That’s a pure evil thing to say... god have mercy on your soul


You're right. It IS purely evil to not do something that driving instructors, police, car insurance agents, and your fellow drivers are urging you to do, for safety's sake. It is indeed purely evil and selfish not to follow common-sense road safety guidelines. You are right: may God have mercy on that poster's soul.


PP meant YOU. Dumb a$$.

Our cars both have the feature that the lights can just be left on (and go off when cars are turned off). Drives me nuts when I have a rental car w/o this feature.

As for cars driving after dusk with lights off--I flash my lights at them if possible, and usually they figure it out (as in--usually I see their lights come on).

Ugh I hate the new lights. I work the overnight shift and am blinded daily by them.

It’s an automatic habit so I don’t have to think about whether they should be on or not. I turn the car on, turn the lights on. Turn the car off, turn the lights off. Brights/high beam only when driving at night.

Is there a reason not to do this that I don’t know about?


Uh, yeah, you're running your battery into the ground. Be sensible. You don't need headlights to "be visible" in broad-ass daylight. But hey, if you like dead batteries and paying for new ones, you do you.

In MD it's the law to have your lights on when your wipers are on. About half the folks on the road don't turn their lights on. But it seems every MoCo cop I drive by has no lights on. Be nice if the cops led by example.

I have a long ass drive and see this so often. Just yesterday, the Range Rover behind me was dark colored and had NO lights on at 7:00 PM in the left lane of 495. Is there any way to signal to these drivers?
And I so agree with the PP who talks about turning off the high beams on a two lane road. I drive on a two lane road which does not have a shoulder or a ditch. You are off the road, you will drive into the small mud banks and bushes. So many drivers do not turn off the high beams even when they see a car coming in the opposite direction.

Wile talking about lights...

Bright lights, High Beams

folks if you routinely drive on a two lane road its ok to use your brights. not ok to leave them on when traffic is coming towards you though.

if the road is curvy and you are using your brights. please be ready to dim them when another vehicle comes around a curve.

If your car is special in that if your low beam goes out you high beams come on and can't be dimmed. for the love of dog, fix your MFing burned out bulb. its been two weeks I've passed the same car with this problem.

During daylight hours you don't need your high beams on. turn them off. that little blue light on the dash board.

on a 4 lane divided road. your super bright lights are still bright to the other on comming cars. dim them.

When you are behind someone, dim them, unless the person you are behind is being a tool, then its OK.

I'm grateful my lights automatically come on when I put the wipers on. But I have a newer car. I agree they are totally important, but I get it that people forget. It's almost certainly not a choice to drive without them on - at least when it starts raining after you've already been driving.

Good god, how did so many of you get a license if you're unable to put your lights on when it's raining? It should be as automatic to you as putting your car in D to drive.

Now a sad song for all you pitiful fools who don't put your lights on.
