I never said I wasn't going to do it, but I don't quite understand it all. isn't that what marker and clearance lights are for?
in Adverse driving your brain is working faster and your pupils are dilated therefore glare from oncoming traffic is increased, causes fatigue faster.
just out of curiosity, anybody have links to any studies on this? other than AAA recommends or agency X recommends

I understand why they pass this law, but tell me when are we the American Public going to take on responsiblity for ourselves and stop making a law to dictate every aspect of our lives. Its sickening to see a law being passed for every little thing we do or should do. All that is happening in the end is the continual loss of freedoms and liberty. That is one of the main principles our Country was founded on, the right to determing our own destiny in life and not get so bogged down by bureacracy. I am sure many will read this and feel I am going a bit to the extreme but I am SICK of the direction our Government is moving, and that goes for State Government as well. If people cant see how much we are moving daily towards a socialist type of Government then this Country is in SAD SHAPE !!! If safety is the main reason for this law then explain how its ok and legal in Ohio to talk on a cell phone while driving yet its ILLEGAL to wear head phones while driving. I would tend to say driving and talking on a cell phone, even with an ear bud is just as UNSAFE and distracting as driving in daytime storms with out headlights on. MAIN difference, Lawyers and Politicians cant live with out their cell phones.......Obama is a prime example of that with his Blackberry.

Agreed !!!!
Wasn't making a suggestion on getting around the law, Rain-X improves your visibility in poor weather conditions (rain / snow). Wouldn't that be just as safe if not safer then just running your lights. Since if your wipers break going down the road, you still can't see even with the lights. Yes I have my headlights on whenever I'm driving, good weather or not.

i dunno, just my .02$
Perhaps we can just stop putting warning labels on things so then all the stupid people can darwinize themselves and we can get on to normal business as a society.
