Pop Quiz Asshole...continued

I'm sure you've been on the edge of your seat waiting for this post, well sorry in advance because it's not THAT good of a cliffhanger. So I'll get right down to it:

Reason number one was so you can improve your vision of people, places or things, but in contrast, like a lighthouse (Ah...it all comes together) you can emit light so others can improve their vision of YOU.

#2) Improve your visibility to others around you, to let them know where exactly you are in non ideal lighting conditions.

Thanks for the science class Greg, what's your point? Shut up dick. Here's my point:

My Drive to work on Monday and Tuesday of this week was some of the worse driving conditions possible for this time of year. Monday was incredibly foggy, like maybe 10 feet of viability. Tuesday was torrential downpour that led to massive thunderstorms. Both days were dark, and were far from ideal lighting conditions. Yet an astronomical amount (50%) of drivers in their cars thought that their daytime running lights were sufficient enough for them to see what lies ahead of them. Which, shit, maybe it was. But guess what Daytime running lights don't do?... turn your lights on. So, in these conditions your invisible to all those people who are driving BEHIND you - and since you're driving like a little bitch perhaps you should warn those people where you are so they don't slam into your "Oh my god it's raining" slow ass!

It's simple, and for some reason Car Manufactures haven't made it so your lights are on when your cars on, and their off when it's not (No more oops I left my lights on stories). But that isn't the case, so unless it's bloody gorgeous, where you know you better put on SPF 15 just to leave the house, fine, drive with your daytime running lights. But if there is a cloud in the sky, that may cast a shadow that even remotley makes it difficult to see you, or of course it's weather like Monday or Tuesday and you just don't do it...I hope a Transport slams into the back of you, spins you into the ditch and continues on his way... And of course the other idiots wouldn't see you and help because they're not driving with their lights on either. And I sure as fuck ain't stopp'n.

Just found out it's ILLEGAL in the USA to drive with your windshield wipers on, and NOT have your lights on.

Seems to be a good law.
