Maybe I'm just being totally anal-retentive, but I get really annoyed when people don't follow simple road rules.
I was driving across the Cahill Expressway yesterday (on my way to an exam), with rain pelting down and an overcast sky. As you would suspect, these weren't the most ideal driving conditions. What surprised me, however, was the amount of people driving without their lights on! I mean, isn't it common sense that when it's overcast and raining, cars don't stand out as much (especially if they're silver, like mine)? So… what's the most obvious action to take in that situation? Turn on your lights! (Never mind the fact that it's actually a road rule – though I doubt anyone who didn't get their Ps or full license in the past few years actually remembers what the road rules are.)
Of course, if you're looking to have an accident, then it's in your best interests you just leave your headlights off. But for the rest of us who don't want to get into stupid accidents, maybe it's an idea to turn them on.
