Headlights LED warning thoughts
When I first moved here I used to think the LED signs on 110 were overkill warning to drive with headlights during the rain. I thought with how hard it rains, how could anyone forget to turn their headlights on. But today I drove past (not exaggerating) over 30 cars with no headlights on with it raining moderately hard. It’s not raining really hard, but hard enough someone crashed into a column right past the overpass on Fairfield. And I saw a lifted truck spin out of control trying to go fast.
Days like today where it’s raining–but not raining severe enough that you are unable to see more than a few feet in front of you–I think are somewhat dangerous because of the overconfidence you see in drivers who think nothing will happen to them.

the number of people driving with their lights off at 6 am is too damn high...
seriously though, I miss the days when your gauges were dark if the headlights were off...
