The new headlight law-I know I'm going to screw this up.

8. Try it, you'll like it. Takes no time at all to get used to.

We have no such law here, and I'd like to see one. Some cars virtually disappear in the rain if they don't have their headlights on. Remember, lights are not just about seeing where you're going. They're also about letting other people see where you're going. (A sharp whack on the head to people who don't give turn signals because "there's no traffic around". Pedestrians benefit by knowing which way you're going, too.)

Years ago, I was driving through VA when, for the first time, I saw a sign saying "State Law. Drivers must use headlights when raining." Well, it started raining, so I turned on my lights. I was amazed to see how much further away an oncoming car was visible with its lights on than without. I've used my headlights in the rain ever since, regardless of any law. It just makes the roads safer for everybody.
