Headlights in the wet
Not sure if this has been brought up but with the rain around it might be a timely reminder for lights on in rainy , or low light conditions , I am out doing my country trip in the Western downs , and there has been some very heavy rain at times , the number of cars with no lights on is growing , and also had a caravan in front at one stage that you could not see from 50 meters away , so lights on guys when conditions are ordinary , and check those trailers as well
Cheers

CERTIFIABLY INSANE
Bloody Oath. As a sales exec, I spend quite a bit of time on the roads and it blows my mind some of the basics that people don't think about......on low light or rainy days I often get "flashed" as if to say "do you realise you have your lights on?" Ahem.....no sh!t......perhaps they should ask them selves why I have my lights on.........
And don't get me started on drivers that don't/can't read or comply with road markings.....it's for your own safety fools! Far out......Rant over!

I agree, But lets go a step further. How hard / expensive would it be for car manufactures to install a switch from wipers to head lights. Auto system. Wippers on, Lights on. This is not rocket science.

New cars don't do themselves with their colour. my bullbar is charcoal metallic and raining in low light
its the same colour as the road, today I had the "HIT ME" sticker on . i always put my parkers on minimum
on the streets and lights on ,on the freeway for truck spray when overcast or raining. really peeves me when others dont
make themselves visable. Needs a TV education segment. Can't beat a white car/4x4 IMO
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
