Turn on your Lights!

I know, long time...no write! It's been a hectic week.

Tonight on the way home something that I've been wanting to write about before, happened once again... one of my "pet peeves" that can be dangerous. I decided I must vent about it, and hopefully pass on what I think is a safety tip!

Have you noticed the people that drive during dusk in the evening and when the sun isn't quite up yet in the morning, without their lights on their cars? Tonight on the drive home from work, a cloudy dreary evening in between day and night, I was at a stop sign, and once again almost crossed the street, not seeing that there was a car coming that I almost didn't see because it didn't have it's headlights on! I bet at least once a month that happens to me, where I almost don't see the car because of fog, cloudiness or just not enough light. If they had their lights on, I would have seen it. I have never gotten into an accident because of it, but I can sure see how it could happen, as I've had close calls! It's become a pet peeve of mine.

I think the running lights that are on the cars for the last 5 or more years, is the best thing car manufacturers have come up with for safety! Please, if you don't have running lights...turn your headlights on, especially during these dreary days of winter, and during dusk - all year round.
