If Your Windshield Wipers Are on, Turn Your Damn Lights on

You are starting to piss me off.

I know. You forget. That's why I flash my lights on and off at you. No, I don't know you and I'm not saying hi. I'm saying, hey - TURN YOUR DAMN LIGHTS ON! Honestly, I would say 50% of cars I see when it's rainy, or just a little rain, don't have their lights on and it's starting to upset me! I even flashed a cop and they DIDN'T turn on their lights!

It's not that hard. If you put your windshield wipers on for any other reason than to clean your window, turn your lights on. Period. End of sentence. No argument, no excuses. You are hard to see when you don't have your lights on.

Plus - it's the friggin' law! Title 29-A: MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC. Chapter 19: OPERATION

Subchapter 1: RULES OF THE ROAD

§2067. Lights

1. Display of headlights. A vehicle located on a way must be equipped with headlights as described in section 1904. The headlights must be illuminated:

A. During the period from sunset to sunrise; [PL 2015, c. 51, §1 (AMD).]

B. At any time when, due to insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, including, but not limited to, rain, freezing rain, fog or snow, persons or vehicles on the way are not discernible for a distance of 1,000 feet ahead; and [PL 1997, c. 249, §1 (NEW).]

C. At any time when windshield wipers are in constant use. [PL 1997, c. 249, §1 (NEW).]

This subsection does not apply to a vehicle that is parked or standing off the main traveled portion of the way.

See how it's hard to see you when you are passing me? I know that newer cars do it for you, and that has cut down on my bitching a ton. But for those who don't have that fancy 'your car thinks for you' feature - turn on your headlights when the weather is kinda poopy. You do that, and I promise to stop bitching.
