Please turn on your lights...
 
Please turn on your lights... I mean head lights and tail lights
Even if it's cloudy or raining in the daytime, turn on your lights and don't rely on your daytime running lights.
I always turn mine on, and it's more safe for you and drivers behind or in front of you.

What was crazy was that last night I was driving in Burnaby at 11PM and it was RAINING and a woman in a Civic didn't turn on her lights! no head lights and tail lights..
it kinda pissed me off
should have honked her.
I've seen many of these people like they want to be invisible...

It's the trend of having "Optitron" (or whatever they call it) instruments, where they're backlit by LED's or whatnot, so it seems like the headlights are on when they're really not.

I always turn on my lights whenever I'm driving. YD training FTW!

TypeRNammer 12-10-2008 08:04 PM

Good, might as well tell all the other fuckers to turn off their highbeams when they dont realize it's on.

bossxx 12-10-2008 08:07 PM

^ i hate that.

I also hate trucks that ride my ass with their headlights shining thru my rear window and into all 3 of my mirrors.. fakk..

MarkyMark 12-10-2008 08:07 PM

I see a lot of people driving at night without their lights on, especially in richmond...I also see a lot of people drive with their highbeams on, do they think those are their actual headlights?

triplexcel 12-10-2008 08:26 PM

yeah.. it sucks even more when some people have astigmatism. with high beams it totally blinds the shit out of me. damn fuks.

JesseBlue 12-10-2008 08:35 PM

some stupid manufacturers turn the headlights and the dash lights on automatically when it senses that its dark but it doesn't turn on the rear lights...stupid..

asian_XL 12-10-2008 08:38 PM

you should blame the new dash design...like the old lexus and new impreza, the instrument cluster will light up even you don't have your headlights/taillights on

lilaznviper 12-10-2008 09:03 PM

my car turns the lights on by itself when its dark

but yeah i hate drivers who dont turn on their lights really pissing and people with highbeams on

No, there's a third option.

Off, on, automatic detection on most cars.

I TOTALLY agree. I always see cars without lights on and it just really pisses me off. Many times, people only turn their light switch once thinking that their headlights are not in the daytime running lights. Their interior middle console lights turn on but their headlights are still on daytime running lights. I see this all the time on the newer civics because the two circular lights are daytime lights and the rectangle lights are for night time driving. It is even worse when they accidentally pushed the light switch foward into highbeam when the car is off and once they turn on the car and flip the light switch twice, it will go into highbeam. As a result, they switch it backwards once and they drive at night with only daytime running lights on. At least their taillights are turned on but it still pisses me off knowning that they are driving around at night with their daytime running lights. haha dunt know why.

tiger_handheld 12-10-2008 09:41 PM

people need to buy cars that they understand how to use!

Alphamale 12-10-2008 09:53 PM

How about this..

Cocksucking assholes who take out their DRL's but don't bother to turn their lights on at night. Like..holy what the fucking shit? You are a moron and I hope you fucking crash into a pole while blowing your dad and getting fist fucked up the ass by a polar bear.

aeja 12-10-2008 09:54 PM

i saw a lady driving a dodge caravan without her lights on last night, And no, caravans dash r not back lit...

icemiko 12-10-2008 10:00 PM

I always see the new civic's with their high beams on.

jimzilla 12-10-2008 10:09 PM

but yes, please turn on headlights if its dusky

ViperXXX 12-10-2008 11:50 PM

yea i think it's pretty pissing as well, but you know there are some people out there who think driving with their lights off is cool. what a joke...

Amuse 12-11-2008 12:56 AM

Imagine this situation, you're in a left turn lane in the middle of a highway with no stop (intersection) lights, going to make a left turn. It's raining and dark. Someone who doesn't or forgets to turn on their lights is oncoming. Isn't that pretty dangerous for both cars? Don't they (oncoming driver) think it's scary if cars can't see them? It's highly unlikely they have Takumi like skills..

Next time you see someone without their lights on or are high beaming you, honk them..

Who's Takumi?

hamhead 12-11-2008 07:26 PM

auto-sensing lights are now on new cars?? WTF?! are people now too fucking lazy to turn a knob or press a button?!

Mugen EvOlutioN 12-11-2008 07:33 PM

its ALWAYS the new CIVIC/FIT that forget to turn on their lights at night...fucking dangerous at hell



ppl are fucking dumb these days, ohhh geee my intereior lights up itself, it must've light up my tailight and front headlight as well, so i dont need to touch anything just drive...

:rolleyes:

how the fuck can they see where they are going is beyond me

Death2Theft 12-11-2008 08:17 PM

You can thank the people who made the law to have Daytime running lights. If we didn't have DRL'S people would know their lights arn't on and you could ticket people for not turning their headlights on in the daytime but instead......

Alatar 12-11-2008 08:37 PM

My lights are always on. I just leave my headlight switch on all the time. Then again, my lights are linked to my ignition so I never have to worry about turning them off.

people should go to a training course for their cars
