I leave the lights on all the time on my car. They go off when I kill
the ignition and open the door; they go back on when I start the car. I feel it increases my conspicuity, and it hurts nothing. I'm happy. I do about 30,000 miles a year in that car. My wife's car, which I drive rarely, does not handle the lights like that, so I've been known to drive in the rain without lights. I usually remember, but not every single time. Steve will say that my brain is separated from reality at the time, and that might be true, but habit is a powerful force. Yet, some people run around with this brain-reality separation a large percentage of the time. I also agree with HLS -- many people just don't give a damn. Would switching the lights on with the wipers make people stupid? I don't think they would any more than automatic tranmissions, anti-lock brakes, safety glass, air bags, seat belts, or any of the other built-in safety or convenience devices already in use. What they would do is ensure that the lights go on with the wipers whether the A-hole behind the wheel wants them on or not. |
