Here in central Ohio many people won't turn on one goddam light until it is absolutely pitch dark. And then, they turn on their puny parking lights. It is also cloudy and gray around here much of the time. Has anyone noticed that a majority of cars are road-colored or sky-colored (as opposed to, say, yellow or red) these days? It's a real adventure to drive on a rainy or snowy day on the same road with these people who won't turn lights on no matter what. I'd like to know what they're thinking (or IF they're thinking). I think it would be fascinating if police set up a roadblock on a gray, misty, rainy day and just listen to the reasons people give for not turning their lights on. I usually oppose any form of unnecessary government coercion, but if people are terminally stupid, what are you going to do? SAAB driver.
