When driving interstate I drive with my headlights on so that I am able to be seen by other drivers. eg. so they can see me before they overtake on the opposite side of the road and vice versa. hope that's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out first hand yesterday when a camry pulled out on me whan I was about 10 metres away and nearly wrote my car off in the first week of owning it. I would have cried and cried. Just a safety thing for me. Just mekes me feel better about driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Brisbane, OZ Posted 25/08/07 08:51 AM Share Posted 25/08/07 08:51 AM There must be some sort of signal sent to the ICC from the headlight/indicator stalk... Someone here will probably know where abouts... Snippety snip, or better yet a switch install, and problem solved. I would be interested in this if you do figure out how it could be done as I too drive during the day with headlights on. In some European country/s (can't remember where) it's illegal to drive without your lights on. Hence why some car manufactures have their vehicles set to constantly have the lights on.

SCRIBR Yaris member Member 4,486 Member For: 18y 7m 1d Gender: Male Posted 26/08/07 03:46 AM Share Posted 26/08/07 03:46 AM some middle aged woman, with child in the car of course, doing about 60+ in a 40 zone, nearly smashed into me yesterday... went straight thru the round about when I was 3/4 through.. I beeped and she went up the gutter and did a bit of damage her car.Don't know if its the dark car.. or just f*ck wits on the road.. I guess its easy for her to say "dark car.. didnt see" rather than "didn't look" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
