Lights in the rain
Discussion
On the way home yesterday
Wasn't driving but was in the passenger seat and I was amazed at how many people when in downpours do not turn their lights on!

3 cars in the picture, and you can only see the one on the left.
It is just pointlessly dangerous, and the rain got a lot worse than this. I reckon only around 1 in 5 cars turned on their lights.
Is there a law for this? Something to do with visibility perhaps?

If conditions were so bad....
Why did you feel it was safe to take a photograph?
Probably because he was a passenger. Like he said at the startWhy did you feel it was safe to take a photograph?
Things could be worse - Rear fog lights in heavy rain is my pet hate

Yeah, after a year on here, its getting boring reading this sort of thing. Particularly when (as here) they don't bother actually reading the OP, but just furiously type out some ill-informed self-righteous nonsense based on their preconceptions.

Well done; your thread seems to have brought out a record number of the hard-of-thinking!Edit to add some on-topicness: I agree, no lights in poor conditions is a pet hate of mine. And those people who never drive at twilight/night and therefore get confused when winter comes and end up either on full beam 100% of the time, or just don't bother.

Or how many people sit in lane 3 when lane 2 is empty.
How do you know they haven't just overtaken somebody who is just out of shot?blearyeyedboy said:

Sometimes it's warranted, though I'll admit that's very rare. I'll tend to use them if I can't see the rear lights of other vehicles more than about 100m away. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
