Curious why guys run their lights during the day

Absolutely. There needs to be more chlorine in the gene pool.

 

You mean Fluoride.

 

Makes you (the truck) more visible. Ccommunicate in traffic Horn, LIGHTS and signal) I'm a six wheeler and I do it all day.

 

Mine are off unless weather or time a day requires me to turn them on the only exception for myself is If pulling a oversized load then I turn on the running lights

 

Yes, I noticed that he had them on. I would have noticed that he was in front of me regardless. If I was so tired that I didn't see another 18-wheeler in front of me then I shouldn't be driving anyway.

It's nice to know what the driver in front of you wants to do, so I don't pull too far wardward, thinking he's still wanting to drive, and I block off his backing path, and I also have to back up to make room for him. It's not because I am being ###, I just want to know what the guy is doing.

And assuming that I will smash into everything at a terminal if everyone doesn't have their 4-ways blinking at all times is insulting. (not saying you are insulting me Dennixx it's just the rules in places I think are stupid)

 

Customers that require 4 ways in their yard is a pet peeve of mine. In any truck stop you know a driver's intentions if they put on their 4 ways. If every moving truck has 4 ways on it's FUBAR.

 

I used to run all the time with all my lights on.
Now not as much. Csa warnings with lights burnt out.
Around city traffic I have them on. But open interstate I turn them off.

 

I have not ever seen a vehicle, any vehicle, because their lights were on in broad daylight. All that sign from your childhood did was wake the dumb ones up because that was a different sign than normal, a "naked ladies crossing" sign would have had the same effect, don't bother trying to change my mind because you won't.

Why do volvo drivers feel the need to sleep with their headlamps on (oftentimes on high beam)
