Is it me or do more and more ignornt people seem to be driving around in poor driving conditions with just side/parking lights, or even worse none?

Lights are an essential must have in bad weather conditions just like they are at night, so why do people still drive around without them on.

I always have mine on, and never turn them off. I leave them to go on and off with the ignition even on the brightest of days like Volvos and others cars because I believe it does help other people to see me!

Should day time running lights become law in the UK just like it is in Sweden and other countries?
 
I just got back from the Midlands...and I never known somewhere, where so many people have one bright and one almost dead headlights...horrible to drive in front of :bang:

And then you get those who change their bulbs and put the new one in at the wrong angle so it dazzles everyone oncoming.
 
Coming back from shopping in early December and there was this dumb b*tch in a merc with no lights on at all at 6.30pm! :eek: Took about 20 flashes of the lights to get her to put them on. :bang:
 
my lights are usually on most of the time lately anyway :D

i dont bother with dipped headlights, i either switch straight between on or off :p

Don't you mean I don't bother with side/parking lights? Dipped headlights is what you normally use, unless you go around with your main/high beam on all the time, lol.
 
On motorways/fast roads I put my sidelights on at daytime. Unless it's so bright that you can't even tell their on - but in this country that's rare! I think it's a good idea if it helps people see you.

On the other hand, I frigging hate people who put all manner of lights on when a slight mist descends. Around packed towns/sitting in traffic, all you do is dazzle the poor person behind you.

Recently when it was a bit foggy, one person was driving toward me on a two-way residential street with main beam and fog lights on. I couldn't see a thing. Nothing. Nada. The lights just made everything white for me. :bang:

Off topic rant over :D
