It really upsets me when it is just getting dark and these people refuse to put on their headlights. I do not know why they are saving them? In addition, I am amazed at how many drive without headlights or brake lights working. I have tried to inform these people when possible and many seem to be offended that one would tells them their lights are not working.

I have automatic lights. So much better.

I think people do it without thinking but will flash people who's lights are off. As for headlights and break lights not working that's just lazy

@jorj Yeah fair point, I drive around in an old smoker that's cheap as chips to fix, certainly where light clusters are concerned, but I was thinking about only the bulbs.

@jorj However much it costs, I have had to walk to work and would have been run over by these idiots if I hadn't paid attention. (Not every city is pedestrian friendly).

Almost every vehicle built this century has automatic-on lights with sensors that detect the light level and come on when it's dark out, or even dusk/dawn, there's no reason for anyone not to have these set to automatic. Except for "stupidity" and "selfishness", which are very prevalent in our society, I must report.

Times have certainly changed. People used to respond with a thank you.

I had a boyfriend that refused to turn on his headlights at dusk, dawn, rain, or fog. Every time I asked him to he would tell me that he could see fine. This idiot could not understand that it wasn't for him to see better; it was so others could see him.

I'm happy my car has a setting so it does it automatically, and I don't have to worry about forgetting about it.

Driving in Florida, especially this time of year, is full of excitement, there are people who know where they are going and those visiting who do not have a clue.

A lot of cars have a setting that can turn this to manual, and for some reason a lot of people want to turn these to manual instead of automatic. I don't know if they think the lights put an extra drain on the battery or what. If they do, they understand even less about cars than I do, and even I know that the running alternator charges the battery.

So, in your world my speeding is ok? I get upset when I'm doing the speed limit making a left turn, and there's someone giving me the slow down signal. Um, if my car can theoretically do 0 to 25 in 2 seconds- it is my duty to test this hypothesis. This is not a hard concept. I just salute back.

i don't understand putting side lights on when you have head lights. personally i drive day and night with my lights on.

Sometimes people forget and sometimes they think they know better. A lot of people never like to acknowledge that they have made a mistake and get annoyed about being told. You just keep on telling them it may prevent accidents.
