As do I--and I'd say one in ten actually realize and turn on their lights after I've flashed at them. But what gets me is the astonishing number of people on dark roads with no lights on--and sadly, I feel like I get the same success rate when flashing lights at them.

And don't get me started about all the people in driving rain, fog and heavy snow with no lights on either....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you drive with the lights in the parking light position, we get the led's up front and the tail lights lit as well? Not to be used as the only lights in the dark, of course, but this does allow for lights front and back for those times when lighting out is between day and night....

The parking lights in Canada and the USA are the front amber indicator lights, side marker lights (amber at the front side and red at the rear side) and the full taillights; the full system on then just adds the white headlights on in addition to the parking lights.

If the DRLs are separate from the front amber indicator lights (some years ago, some cars used the front amber indicator lights as DRLs), they remain on when the parking lights or full headlights are on.

I was under the impression that it is not legal to drive with only parking lights on (at least here in Ontario, Canada) but cannot confirm this in a quick search.

I just saw a prius last night with no headlights on and remembered this thread. High beamed the guy 3 times, drove by and looked back to see if the taillights lit even up......nope

Yep. It was raining pretty hard on a dimly lit highway on Tuesday and I counted at least 5 cars without their headlights on at 5:30PM when the sun was already down.

I go through the same routine every day, man. Every day.
