Some countries (including Denmark and other Nordic countries) have it as law to do so. Rumour has it the idea does actually reduce the number of accidents during the day.

Stupid Sky 'technical' 'support' 'people' (reading from a script, obviously) who demand unconditionally that you wait 24 hours - to the second - for a signal that you know arrived 23 hours ago and will never fix the problem anyway. Grrr - wasted phone call.

When you're driving round in a small road coloured car you do everything you can to make yourself visible. It helps with the staying alive bit

Kari and I do that both, get in the car and the lights go on. There are so many people here that just don't have the common sense to turn the lights on when it rains, or starts heading towards dusk or any number of situations where they're not so visible that it's safer to just put them on and leave them on.
They're not dazzling anyone and I'd far rather make sure I'm visible than be hit.

I'm stunned here how few people turn their lights on when it rains (and contrary to popular opinion, it does rain a lot here, particularly as you head up towards the mountains which I do daily) There are a few times when I've witnessed very near accidents as a consequence of someone's car being all but invisible in the rain, and then they have the stupidity to be pissed off and honk their horn.

Side lights on a volvo are always on. It's hardwired, because it's the law in Sweden.

Ask Daz if he turns his lights on in the rain.

Then call him a c*ck.

To be honest, I would only have my lights on in heavy rain which has the same effect as fog. Any other time I don't have them on. Why do you need to? If you can still see people I don't see the point!

Im on about the full headlights. Its been bright and sunny all week here, yet I have seen countless cars with the full beam of the headlights on. Its a waste of the cars energy if nothing else than as well an unnecessary annoyance. Adapting your driving based on the weather conditions is normal, this (in my opinion) isn't
