On my way home from the office tonight I was in the '3 and it was still an
hour before dusk, so still quite light. But driving on some tree shaded
roads I figure I would drive with just the running lights, to save on gennie
power. Ten out of the eleven cars that passed me in the opposite direction
put their high beams on as if my highs were on.
Clearly this wasn't the case, and I think they were indicating my lights
should be on. Couple of thoughts came to mind:
- When did it become a bad thing to run with only running lights?
- why are cars still equiped with the ability to run running lights only if
it is such a bad thing?
- was I in the wrong and should have flipped the main beams on?
Just thoughts and questions formulated on the quiet country road home.
