Oh hey, this is new…
who would have thought to bitch about drivers in the area?
Unique bitch is unique…
Headlights, like turn signals, are optional in cars these days. Now that’s sarcasm.
People really need to learn how to use commas. 🙁
People are in their own universe when they get behind the wheel OP. How their driving impacts others is entirely secondary.
In my last car the whole dash would be dark until the headlights were turned on so at night it was easy to tell the lights were off. In my new car (roughly 6 months old) the dash lights all come on regardless and only the stereo and climate controls don’t light up, so until I look down to fiddle with those, I don’t notice my lights are off. A few more months and I’m sure I’ll develop the habit.
turning headlights on should be a normal part of the car startup routine, 24/7. get in, close door. seat belt. start engine. headlights. check mirrors, reverse and out the driveway.
make it a habit day and night.
