Not wishing to hijack the other interesting thread...

Sometimes words fail me when I'm driving through a monsoon on the motorway and half of the morons don't have their headlights on.

Question for bib: How do you deal with these feckwits when there are so many about? Do you care?

And another thing, if visibility is bad enough to require lighting, then ffs why do some people put those tiny little candle like sidelights on instead of their headlights....

And.....relax.

I do many motorway miles in all conditions and agree that no headlights in the rain is crazy. I reckon it's about 1 in 70 cars, not half though. Last week one of them with no lights was a police car, so you can get day dreamers in all professions!
Trouble is, if they're not exceeding 70 they're obviously safe aren't they? I mean, they're of no interest to the local Safety camera Partnership, so they must be safe!
