The amount of people who drive at night without headlights on is pretty crazy. I see at least 1 person like 50% of the time I drive at night now. I have given up flashing my high beams to alert them

I see them literally every night when I’m walking the dog. And I can sort of understand it in the city with it being so bright.

But what blows my mind is when it’s the cops. Like guys, WTF?!

Step 1, lights on. Step 2, car in gear.

It’s not hard!

I don't understand why people don't just always keep the lights on. Unless you're driving an older car that doesn't turn the lights off automatically, keep them on for Christ sake. There's no reason for them to ever be off. You're not going to run out of headlight juice.

I miss the pre-snopes days when we didn't flash high beams at someone with lights off at night because they were probably in a gang and would kill people who did that. Pretty hard to have an urban legend anymore.

People didn't let their kids go trick or treating 5 years ago because the entire country thought there were killer clowns running loose.

That actually included some arrests for threatening behavior involving clowns because everyone's a copycat now-a-days.
