When I am dictator, all new cars sold in the US will automatically turn their headlights on when the windshield wipers come on.

Many do now, plus daytime running lights help. It's a law in PA.

Law in KY, too. I remember when it was enacted, we/they actually voted on it I think, it was called Wipers On Lights On.

You don't think he's training all those glattjugend Boy Scouts for nothing, do you.

Prizm uses separate white bulbs for DRLS. They come on when you put it in gear. and Accord uses regular low beams at reduced brightness.

OK, so the Accord is all set when you go through construction zones or turn the wipers on.

When raining, all bulbs including side markers and rear lights also must be illuminated for human safety. DRLs only illuminate front bulbs - and at lower intensity.

The easy answer is to let the dumbasses who run dark in the rain/fog/twilight/dawn have at it. They will get crushed and eliminated or at best have to buy new cars that do it for them.

I don't see it every day, some body sees it every day, but yesterday was my day...

I missed the deer that tried to get me to run into it by... less than a foot as it approached from the right shoulder at a hundred miles an hour. My left front headlight lit up his left rear hip, but missed him, I missed him by > < much. Some car lengths beyond, I applied an urgent amount of brakes. Like it was gonna help.

Just a couple houses behind this close encounter of the deer kind I wondered why the woman walking her dog was stopped in the driveway. As I passed the driveway, I could see she and the dog were checking out two deer at the end of the driveway. Fuckers are everywhere.

Pam doesn't see this every day, nobody sees this every day, but it's some fancy maneuvering.
