Daytime driving lights help you see oncoming cars, but taillights only come on with the headlights.

blckwolf Veteran Author North Carolina Posts:290 Points:74,145 Joined:Nov 2008	Message Posted: May 20, 2013 9:07:02 PM Ignore blckwolf Report Abuse Always. It irritates me when people in dark cars drive on dark rainy/foggy days without turning on their headlights. Only the stupid go out driving in those conditions as they are asking for a wreck.
