‘Automatic headlights’ don’t work in fog? Safety Question

About 40-50% of the cars we passed on the road today had no headlights on or only had the dim side lights. Do automatic lights not work in fog for these modern cars? Seems super sketchy

Yeah, this has been a thing for the entire 25+ years I’ve had a driver’s license.

Something about driving an anonymous grey or silver crossover fills these people with a desire to emerge silently from the mist like the Flying Fucking Dutchman of dropping the kids off at school.

I’ve been flashing my headlights at them for over two decades and I’ve always had a <50% success rate. Oh well.

Long will it continue, flashed the Fuck out of some donut in their grey Quashqai last year only for the helmet to think I was just doing it for fun lmao

Overtook and the ding dong thought it was game time and just flashed us for the next four miles

These people are clowns and the sooner they T-bone an artic that hasn’t seen them at a junction and take themselves out, the better
