people who drive at night without headlights on - Click HERE for Original Thread

T-LAV MRV
is it ok to throw shit at them, like slurpee's and old food u happen to find in your car?, just wondering for future reference.

lol

you almost want to

usually just flash the brights until they go on

either they are retarded, half asleep, or worse intoxicated

I had my lights just fail on me during a snowfall.... didn't notice for a couple hours... if someone threw a slush at my car i'd probably ram mine into theirs. But if politely told that my lights wern't working i'd say thank you good sir and get em fixed asap. Just a heads up.

T-LAV MRV
but what if the person is a jackass about it, like a certain white lancer last night heading westbound with his side markers on and no headlights then what?.

i flashed him to hopefully get him to notice his shit was off, but no return, looked like a young punk kid from what i could see.

I see lotsa cars and trucks driving around without headlights or tail lights but some sort of shitty driving light they have bolted on.

retarded, but they are cool you know.

Most cars have automatic headlights so if they are not on at night chances are they are broken. I know with my HID kit my left headlight would just go out if I hit a bump then would return a couple minutes later; I ended up soldering the connection and that was the end of that.
I have a bigger problem with all the drifters around town who think their 'sleepy eyez' is the dopest drift mod since the lsd. When did making you car look like it has broken headlight motors become cool?

The biggest problem here is with daytime running lights that automatically turn on the dash lights. I can't count the number of times I see cars driving with no taillights and just their DRLs on because they are able to see the dash. DRLs are supposed to be about safety during the day, not making cars unsafe at night. The only time dash lights should be on is when you actually put your lights to the on position.

Don't get me started on people that don't ensure their lights are working properly. It takes all of 30 seconds to check them, so get off your ass and do it.

My lights work for the most part... my hazard's work sometimes..

Well there is that urban legend that if you flash your lights at another car with no lights they start chasing you and shoot at you. I thing its some gang initiation.

Oh so true.!


My dash lights burnt out last week and I accidentally drove 3 blocks without my lights on and some guy flashed me, so I slowed under the speed limit by a few clicks thinkin photo radar was coming up.

Didn't take me long to turn on my lights though, Maybe i should wash my car too, might help the lights shine better.

I also took the ten minutes to show my golden aged land lady how to change her headlights and I aimed em too. she was so happy! I think that makes up for the brief stint of headlight stupidity I had a few nights ago.

The funny part about that is it tends to be more pricey cars with broken lights... I saw an lincon navigator the other day... onthe front, 1 head light and the opposite fog worked.. nothing else... not signals.. not markers.. but the tail lights were fine...

That's a pet peeve of mine.. burnt out bulbs.. for the most part they be cheap... and most lights are easy to change... some times it's tempting to keep the most common signal bulb types in my car.. pull some of these twits over and tell them to pop the hood/trunk what ever and change the bulb for htem.

i,d say fuck ya.i ,m just to lazy to care.actually i could,nt care less.if your too stupid to have your lights on. fuck ya.
my girlfriend is a little parnoid of the urban legend thing.rather than get chased down. fuck ya.
actually getting chased down sounds fun.great excuse for the13 tickets you got in one night in a period of an hour plus.''well your honour i was scared for my life.'' ''i flashed my brights at this car because he was driving without any.'' '' he started chasing me.'' ''i went as fast as i could!'' ''i was afraid to stop for them reds and yellows,i had to run-em.'' ''i thought i see him wave a gun. i was too scared to slow down or stop."
:D

i used to freak out on my cousin (well not completely freak out but give him shit) because he'd drive around the city with only his parking lites on because he thought it was cool that they were blue. its friggin stupid. when i went to florida with my family last year it was weird seeing the cars with out day time running lites all the time. let alone at nite time.

I used to drive my T-bird with just the marker lights on, because I thought it looked awesome. Then I realised I was an idiot and moved on with life.
