In Finland and in Sweden (maybe commonly in the EU) we have to keep driwing
lights on when driving. When I was a teen we had an advice to keep lights
allways on (during 70's), and it has been as a law 20 years (outside towns)
and almost 10 years everywhere. It is a brave act, as you can decide very
easy when a car is in traffic or not. But our holy Lucas generators make it
"easy" to forgot lights off in city traffic. If I turn my back to the
historic autenthity and fit an alternator, I will use driving lights during
the northern cabriolet season, when we have sun shining during nights (in
case it is not raining).
