I used to like to run dark on moonlit nights and turn the lights on when someone was approaching. It was amusing in a car but it was a real blast with an 18 wheeler that suddenly appeared lit up like a Christmas tree. Not that I would do anything that foolish anymore...
Absolutely. Running daytime lights on a bike probably doesn't buy you much in terms of people seeing you but it's at least a little edge. When everyone's lights are on that little edge goes away.
Grind it up and snort it. Works the charm for some prescription drugs...
We had the perfect setup. Fleabag motel on one side of a 4 lane major street, bucket of blood gin mill on the other side, no handy crosswalk for the convenience of the patrons. After a few bums got shuffled off the mortal coil, they redid the street to two lanes and lowered the speed limit to 35. The situation improved briefly when the gin mill went out of business. But then they tore it down and built a homeless shelter on the spot. Shortly after that a microbrewery opened across the street from the homeless shelter so we're back where we started.
Another section of road had the limit reduced to 35 after a fatal accident. It must have been the speed limit even though the motorist drove up on the sidewalk to nail the pedestrian. The motorist wasn't charged although there was a strong suspicion she was texting, doing her nails, or something.
I always enjoyed being on a LA freeway at those rare times when it was raining hard. All those little gray cars with no lights disappeared into the road spray. I wasn't too concerned though. I was in an eighteen-wheeler so I'd just put a Slayer tape in the deck and boogie on.
I tend to push the envelope. If I can see a pine tree on a mountain 5 miles away I don't need no stinkin' lights regardless of where the sun might be.
I think you have it backwards:
Headlights must be used:
30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise. When visibility, due to foul weather, is reduced to 500 ft or less.
That's mostly an eastern thing, afaik. Those Democrats need to be spoon fed.
When it eliminates you from the gene pool?
No import duty on american built vehicles into Canada (or Canadian into USA) - just HST and perhaps AC excise tax
Mine is 20, wife's ia 14.
Virtually all vehicles will let you know if a signal is out by changing the flash rate - either faster or no flash, depending on the flasher used.
Driving down an unlit road in fog or rain or blowing snow you don't see them untill you are virtually on top of them. (it can be bad enough when they are lit - particularly if the lights are covered in dirt or snow)
As I just said in another message - mine is 20 years old (and believe it or not MOST of the lamps are still original - along with the rear brakes, exhaust, alternator, starter, ball joints and steering parts, etc at 340,000+ Km)
Mr Parrott. you are crazy. Daylighting makes ALL vehicles more visible.. If other cars on the road are a distraction to you, you should quit driving and stay aff the road.

You don't have lights on your speedo and other guages either, dummy.
Easy way to be charged with tax evasion - plus most likely driving with no insurance since you cannot insure an american licenced vehicle in Canada.
You have 6 months if visiting, and a couple weeks after importing to change the registration. Bringing a car across the border to stay without geclaring it is also smuggling..
Bad Jiu Jiu if you get caught.
Apparently not as stupid as you.
I'd have to dissagree with you, as my 1996 Ford ranger with DLRs has
340,000+km on it and still has the origional headlight bulbs.IF the average speed of the vehicle was 100kph (very very unlikely - more likely closer to half that) the headlights have been on for 3400 hours. (a large percentage of that at reduced output - which os hard on halide lamps)
