We are now at that time of the season where people leave work and it's still light out. They then drive oblivious to the fact that it's getting dark and they don't have their lights on. I am guessing that some of these people "think" that their lights are on because they have day time running lights. However, drivers need to know how their lights actually function when it gets dark.

If you are going to drive a car, be responsible enough to know whether your lights are on when it starts getting dark. Don't be a moron driving without your lights on.

Some people (including myself) don't realize that we don't have our lights on, not because we have DRL's, but because we're driving under street lights.

I drive a car with automatic lights, but sometimes, for whatever occasion, I'll turn mine off, and indadvertedly forget to turn them back on. I only realize it once I leave the presence of street lights.

I do not see how someone "forgets" to put their lights on. If your smart enough to turn the car on and put in drive, you're smart enough to turn your lights on.

I have driven up alongside several clueless drivers, endangering themselves and everyone else on the road by driving without lights on, and was surprised to see that their front lights were on and so were their dash board lights. I thought that they just had daytime lights on and didn't have an idea that their rear taillights were not on.

However, I have also had people come up behind me without any lights on in dusk or dark conditions.

PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON OR DON"T DRIVE

if you cant tell if your lights are on or off, than you truly should not be driving. if its starting to get dark, its simple and stay with me....take a second and LOOK. not that hard. if it is, please stay off the roadway.

Shit, my '98 Corolla has "automatic lights" that come on by themselves when a certain degree of darkness is reached---and I CAN'T turn them off without shutting down the engine.

You mean these high-dollar, modern cars that people pay through the nose for, don't do this?

In the fancy shmancy car I am familiar with, the lights come on automatically in the dark, but can be forced off.

When you just spent 60k on your fast car, you want to be able to turn the lights completely off. E.X your getting a blow job in a parking lot but you still want heated seats and music but no one to see you.

I can sit in the dark in my Corolla with the engine running for heat, A/C, etc.

But I have to go through this drill:

Put tranny in Park
Pull handbrake
Shut off engine
Restart engine
Then the lights won't come on. It's kind of a pain in the ass, actually

Oh hey, look at me! It's dark out and I don't have my lights on! Oh it's raining? I don't need headlights on!
