Why is it that when there is dense fog outside some people drive around without their headlights? I've also noted that the majority are driving silver, gray or white vehicles. Is there some little known law somewhere that states, "If you blend in with the fog, you don't have to turn on your lights"?

I saw several people almost get rear-ended on my drive home from work simply because other drivers couldn't see them until it was almost too late.

Veterans Parkway was bad enough but on Route 51, where visibility was almost zero, it was a nightmare to come up on someone moving real slow that I couldn't see until I was practically right on them.

When I got home and watched the news, it was full of accidents caused by the fog and the poor visibility. It made me wonder how many of these people didn't have their lights on.

If we -other drivers - can barely see you with your lights on then we probably can't see you at all when your lights are off.

Please turn on your lights people. It's just common sense and it's the law. It could also quite possibly save your life and the lives of others.
