It is quite the opposite during the night, with the crowd driving around with the permanently on fog lights and/or full beams and/or at least one broken headlight.
I hate the ones who use the spot lights instead of the head lights. They could make it compulsory to use lights, but like most of our traffic laws it wouldn't be enforced and if it was there'd be uproar.
Is it green to used the lights? you are not getting the energy for nothing, I recon I lose 4 mpg with all the lights on. That's not to say you should not use the lights in bad weather, there is a balance here somewhere.
Exactly - one of my real pet hates is drivers with either spot lights on (pointless) or no lights on. These days it even happens when the heaviest of downpours are taking place.
