OT: Danger! Time warp!

Yeah, one is invisibler than the other.

DRLs can help on a sunny day on a road with a lot of tree cover. Cars can get lost in the shade.

Non use of lights and turn signals is one of my pet peeves. It may vary by state but the rule is usually headlights on 30 minutes after sunrise,

30 minutes before sunset, any time the wipers are on.

No they can't. You must be one of those useless drivers who says after an accident "he came out of nowhere". Gets your eyes tested.

Non use of turn signals is easy. If they don't indicate, they don't get to go that way, just pull straight in front of them. If they hoot at you, wind down your window, use the wanker sign, then alternately flash your indicators to educate them.

And if the sun is obscured by cloud? I just put sidelights on when I feel it would be difficult to take a photograph without long exposure (so people's vision will also be slower), then I put dipped beam on when I need to light up the road in front of me to see where I'm going.

No (enforced anyway) rule here about rain, I never use mine unless there's heavy spray off trucks.

I also never use fog lights, as they're identical to brake lights. You come up behind someone with rear fogs on and you don't know when they brake.

It can be raining heavily and EVERYTHING is the same shade of gray, except possibly lights on the other cars. It's too gray to find a place to pull over, but you have a chance of staying on the road if you follow those lights.

Different grays ARE different colors.

If they interfere with seeing unlit objects, they're too bright.

And possibly causing an accident by being WORSE that the other person.

Right. DRLs are just markers, and should not be full brightness.

Artists say they're tones.

50% of them are.

No, by being exactly the same. And I'm only doing it to one person, the one that started it, I switch them off once I've passed them.

They've actually had to introduce a law that DRLs must switch off when an indicator comes on, so you can see it. DOH! Doesn't this perhaps tell them they really f***ed up?

See an optician. I don't have your problem at all.

You have "I can't work as I get tired" problem. What an outstanding wanker you really are Birdbrain. I've known some wankers in my time, you come out as Number 1!

Not normally. I don't run my life like that.

But your previous paragraph stated that there is unnecessary information.

Why would you want to push a button? Inconvenient if you're cycling etc.

No. Some of the drugs that do not degrade when they pass through a human are screwing up the fish.
