Daytime running lights are on pretty much all cars, which has decreased this problem significantly. My car has auto lights, which come on when it gets dark or... when I turn on my fucking wipers! I cannot for the life of me understand why this isn't a feature in all new cars. I don't want it mandated by law, but you'd think that automakers would realize this is a good idea.

I'd say a good 20% of the cars on I-40 this morning did not have their lights on.

11/14/2008 8:21:43 AM

OMG I was so about to post in my thread until I saw this one!

Lady in a GREY lexus with no lights on. That car blended in with everything until you got right up on it. Guess what she was doing? Talking on her cell phone and not signaling when she was moving lanes. I said a few choice words this morning.

11/14/2008 8:26:51 AM

isn't there a law in NC that says your headlights are supposed to be on if you're using your wipers?

bingo. so turn on your damn lights fucktards

Sess., 1990), c. 822, s. 1. (4) At any other time when windshield wipers are in use as a result of smoke, fog, rain, sleet, or snow, or when inclement weather or environmental factors severely reduce the ability to clearly discern persons and vehicles on the street and highway at a distance of 500 feet ahead, provided, however, the provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to instances when windshield wipers are used intermittently in misting rain, sleet, or snow.

^ Yes. I especially hate it when gray/silver cars do this.

Seems like this kind of idiocy is more common in Raleigh than anywhere else in NC I've lived. Why's that?

11/14/2008 8:36:08 AM

cause raleigh drivers are tards

11/14/2008 8:38:00 AM

i couldnt even keep up with how many fucking cars i saw that were riding w/out lights today

11/14/2008 11:42:23 AM

I counted 22 going from the avent ferry/gorman intersection to the SECU

11/14/2008 11:43:57 AM

seriously, I wasn't happy driving to work this morning.

Also, mother fuckers without their lights on who don't stop for stop signs.

god damn.

11/14/2008 11:44:39 AM

12/20/2008 7:13:38 PM

signed I wish I could give people tickets

12/20/2008 9:41:43 PM

And, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT WHICH IS HOLY, turn off your fucking high beams when I am approaching you from the opposite direction.

12/20/2008 9:43:14 PM

your car has lights for a reason.

1/6/2009 10:59:40 AM

bump

2/18/2009 8:08:34 AM

Goddamn I almost hit an idiot today because of this shit.

2/18/2009 8:10:38 AM

i actually counted 17 idiots on my way to work this morning

2/18/2009 10:17:44 AM

it's teh law

2/18/2009 10:18:49 AM

mine are always on, or i think i may forget to do it in the rain

2/18/2009 10:18:53 AM

WIPERS ON, LIGHTS ON, AMIRITE?

2/18/2009 10:20:14 AM

Flashing my brights doesn't seem to help. People are dumb.

2/18/2009 10:20:22 AM

You have to hit them head on.

and then be all, "yo I didn't see you cause your lights were off. Now fix my car."

now is when cops need to be givin the tickets.

driving tests need to be harder, weed out some stupid people

2/18/2009 10:24:30 AM

i never think about this anymore- the last two vehicles i have either daytime running lights, or full out automatic lights (everything would come on, including wipers when it started to rain)

2/18/2009 10:25:52 AM

I hate when people are used to daytime lights tho, and then when it gets dark they have no taillights on.

2/18/2009 10:26:40 AM

my truck does automatic nighttime lights too

2/18/2009 10:28:35 AM

hmm, never knew that daytime lights = no taillights

good to know

2/18/2009 10:28:43 AM

sounds fancay!

^it may vary by vehicle, but i've definitely seen it on multiple ocassions.

I'm confused. Where I come from (California), you pull out into the intersection before making a left turn. It drives me nuts when people hang out behind the white line. What is the law?

2/18/2009 10:35:57 AM

I'm from NJ, and I too pull into the intersection. It's a free pass on yellow. Not sure why a lot of people wait behind the line here when the light is green.

2/18/2009 10:36:52 AM

I've noticed this too. I think people are just less aggreesive in the south, unless they own a 4x4, and then they go over the medians.

2/18/2009 10:40:43 AM

Nothing in the handbook about it ...

mine does this auto switch so my tail lights come on when its dark enough

2/18/2009 11:01:26 AM

i can see just fine.


CLEAN OFF ALL THE SNOW FROM YOUR CAR BEFORE YOU DRIVE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. WHEN YOU SLAM ON THE BREAKS FOR NO REASON BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW ALL THE SNOW FROM THE ROOF OF YOUR CAR SLIDES DOWN TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THEN YOU CANT SEE.

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

2/18/2009 11:01:31 AM

I did see a lot of people in my apt. complex drive away without cleaning off their head/tail lights last time it snowed.

2/18/2009 11:03:29 AM

I pull into the intersection, but I don't trust the idiots going the other way so I wont go until I am sure they are stopping/my light is turning red. I'm sure it makes the guy right behind me but I've seen too many idiots run reds those few seconds after.

2/18/2009 11:25:54 AM

Question: At a light, when I am making a left hand turn, and am the first car, am I allowed to pull out into the intersection, and wait to make my turn, or must I remain behind the painted white line, until I am clear enough to make my left hand turn? I ask this, because many people pull up and stick out into the intersection until they can go, but I don't know if I can fail a test for doing this.

Answer:
You can and should pull half the way across the intersection to make your left turn. This also lets vehicles behind you get into the intersection to complete their turns behind you.

It is illegal though to block the crosswalk. So if you pull out, have enough room to get past the crosswalk.

I counted 23 cars w/o lights on during my drive to campus today

Yeah, driving from CH to Raleigh this morning on 40 wouldn't have been quite so bad if it wasn't for the assholes this thread is intended for.

It boggles my mind how completely oblivious people can be.

Last input, from the NC vehicle code: http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/ByChapter/Chapter_20.html

§ 20-153. Turning at intersections.

(a) Right Turns. – Both the approach for a right turn and a right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.

(b) Left Turns. – The driver of a vehicle intending to turn left at any intersection shall approach the intersection in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of that vehicle, and, after entering the intersection, the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection in a lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction upon the roadway being entered.

(c) Local authorities and the Department of Transportation, in their respective jurisdictions, may modify the foregoing method of turning at intersections by clearly indicating by buttons, markers, or other direction signs within an intersection the course to be followed by vehicles turning thereat, and it shall be unlawful for any driver to fail to turn in a manner as so directed. (1937, c. 407, s. 115; 1955, c. 913, s. 5; 1973, c. 1330, s. 18; 1977, c. 464, s. 34; 1997-405, s. 1.)

§ 20-158. Vehicle control signs and signals.

(2) a. When a traffic signal is emitting a steady red circular light controlling traffic approaching an intersection, an approaching vehicle facing the red light shall come to a stop and shall not enter the intersection. After coming to a complete stop and unless prohibited by an appropriate sign, that approaching vehicle may make a right turn.
