IDIOT!

Who arrived and stop first ? If i was on the right and stopped first then I'm going first..

Right or wrong, that's the way I play it.
like a 4way with 2 sides gone.

I never thought about taillights until people started mentioning it here on TBN. On crappy days (like today) I try to toss a glove over the sensor, making it think it's night time.

There are times when I do want the lights shut off. Backing out of the driveway with the lights reflecting off the garage door is a pain. There is a big hill at the mouth of my road with a house directly across. First thing in the morning I prefer to shut the lights off so that I am not lighting up their house while sitting at the stop sign, or blinding the drivers going past.

In areas that can get dust storms, it is pretty normal to pull off the road and stop till the storm passes and generally they say kill all the external lights.

There was (is?) at least one driving school around here that was teaching its students that at an equal 4-way stop, they should defer the right of way to the older driver. After a former student asked a question about that to us, I understood why it seemed as if so many older drivers around here were asserting a right of way based on seniority. Either that or they were just idiot drivers like everywhere else...

At 4 way stops, we were always taught first to arrive goes first. If 2 or more arrive simultaneously, then the one on the right as you go around the circle goes first. Not sure how many people know the second part or get it... Up here it's a race to see who goes last, which is another form of frustration...

Driving home to in-laws for Christmas I saw numerous idiots driving on the interstate without lights on at essentially dark:30. I lane changed in front of one way to close for comfort because I assumed anyone driving at 75 miles an hour down the interstate at dark would have their lights on.

I see idiots running with no lights at dusk all the time.

Hecks I see idiots running with no lights after dark.

instead of a glove on the sensor, why not just turn the headlights on? It works on my chevy

Then you have to remember to shut off. If you utilize the sensor they will shut off automatically.



I’m really hating all the automation, different levers doing different things. Having to remember which vehicle I’m in and whether the lights shutoff automatically or not. 4 different vehicles different brands different eras. It gets old. I think several weeks ago at 2 in morning I was going into work. Went to clear melted frost off window turned my turn signal on instead. Couple minutes later had blue lights flashing behind me. License plate lights burned out. But got to wonder did he see me make mistake with turn signal with it being bar closing time. Where I turned them on at said I was turning into a field

Because then I have to remember to turn them off... Something I haven't had to think about in over 4 years.
Then turn them back on every time I get back into the truck.

I know they will shut off then with a glove over them but I just turn them on, last week everyday was foggy so I turned them on everything I left the house.


Mine makes a ding ding ding when I leave them on then I turn them off.
