Head lights AND Tail lights people...

With the time change from daylight savings ending, its dusk when I drive home. I think the invention of the "daytime running lights" was pretty neat, however, those engineers didn't take something into account.

I think they forgot about human behavior, and our tendancy to "forget" how to do certain things when there is the appearance that its already been done for us. Running lights are not so bad for oncoming traffic, normally, even those cars like mine with little dots that light up rather than the actual headlights, I can see them coming.

The point of frustration comes when approaching a hard to see vehicle from BEHIND - if you do not have your tail lights on, its difficult to see they are there. Especially when the sun is setting...

Of course there are also all those idiots who don't put their lights on at all - they are just a league of their own...

C'mon people - yes, there are lots of things that are done automatically for you - but there is still only ONE person who can think for you - so please use your brains now and again...
