This answers a lot. Typical of the USA to have a number of competing
systems
and not enforce much of anything.

I am a firm believer that proper lighting prevents accidents. Many
Americans
don't light properly, drive far too fast in bad conditions, and believe that
any law which is not enforced (and many that ARE) do not apply to them.
