‘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

At this point, it should default to lights on all the time. It doesn’t hurt anything in daylight and it saves from idiots like this.
I’ve been running mine more and more regardless of weather. It’s one more thing to help someone see you no matter how it looks outside. I’m seeing way too much of people crossing into the opposing lane on blind corners and in general. I’ll take all I can get to get their attention.
