Yeah I’m astonished at how often people drive with headlights off. Why is it even an option for lights to be off when in drive? I can understand wanting to turn them off sometimes, but not while moving.


I think the proliferation of daytime running lights is partly to blame here, because you still get some light out of the front even without headlights on.

The thing that always gets me is switching between (rental) cars that have automatic headlight sensors and those that don't.


A fun thing I've noticed, those driving with no headlights in nighttime often lean towards windshield to, presumably, see better)


No lights on shouldn’t even be an option. Even with older cars I’ve always turned them on. My current car won’t even allow you to turn them off.
