Headlights on when raining

It is a good idea. I know my company with all the gasoline were hauling and the cities we work in is better of when we use this practice. There's been many studies done on how much safer it is to run with you headlights on when the conditions require this. Just think about it for a second. I'm cruising down a surface street, it's raining so I'm driving slower, and I'm going to one of my stations when I approach an intersection and a car makes a left turn right in front of me. What's the first words out of their mouth? I"I DIDN'T SEE YOU". The only problem we had, and it was job specific, was when the truck pulled up to the loading rack to get loaded. The drivers would forget to shut them off before they pulled into the loading area.

 

My car/truck is silver/gray so I don't need to turn them on in the rain.

Another time to turn on your headlights is when you're chasing your shadow and it's longer than the truck. Or to put it differently, when the sun is blinding those coming towards you.

 

I've always said--I am not in favor of additional laws--BUT--since so many people don't get the common sense factor--I guess there is no other choice--I've also said forever--I would love to put soccer Mom in my truck during a rainstorm as she hangs out in the left lane--or speeds up as I pass her--in a rainstorm--and let her look in the mirror and try to see her vehicle w/out lights on and see what they have to say then.
Just my $.02

 

Whats up with Florida and 4-ways in the rain?

That is so not helpful, unless they are going slower than traffic.

 

I think it is common sense to have your headlights on .

 

Are you kidding? She'd be screaming so load you couldn't even think right. Then she might have messed your truck up. Not a good idea!!!!!!
