How do we deal with these idiots???

You know the idiots I'm talking about too. The ones who don't realize their DRLs do not include tail lights, so they drive around all night without having any tail lights on! Who had the brilliant idea to do that??? It is the dumbest thing ever and I'm tired of driving at 9:00 at night in the total darkness and coming up on someone who has not turned on their headlights and is just relying on the DRLs to see where they are going. Why can't the light sensor which turns on your headlights also turn on the tails? I mean, isn't it more important for people to be able to see you???



Sorry for the rant. I had to follow an idiot like this last night and then not five minutes later there was another idiot (500 lb guy crammed in the front of a cargo van) without any headlights on at all. I mean, HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR HEADLIGHTS AREN'T ON??? Especially with this old van. It was old enough that unless your headlights are on I'm pretty sure there weren't any dash lights on either. With most cars and their electroluminescent gauges you probably wouldn't notice, but surely you would notice that you couldn't see the lines on the freeway after a couple minutes. This guy was five minutes from an onramp too, so he had been driving blind for quite some time.



Ok. Ranting done. One more thing though... Does anyone have a good guide on how to install a kind of surface to air missile type thing on a car? I was thinking of something like this maybe:

I always hope its them that get pulled over.. never is. I see plenty of people driving around here with nothing on simply because some streets are very well lit. That ticks me off to no end.
 
I purposely removed the fuse for my DRLs. I never did get the point of them. They seem to be accents more than anything else. The no DRLs reminds me in the very unlikely case, to TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT.
 
I've done the same thing in all my cars too. I just think a large majority of drivers with them don't even realize that their tail lights aren't on. As long as they can see the road in front of them and the gauges on the dash, they couldn't care less if anything else works. That is also why their cars are all f-ed up and destroyed too. The 99% aren't the ones occupying wall street. They are the morons who don't know anything about their cars and couldn't tell you the difference between a car polish and a hole in the ground. WE are the 1% who actually know how to fix things that are broken and avoid getting them broke in the first place.
 
In my area the "driving around at night with no headlights" was part of some gang-initiation thing, at least for a while (dunno if they're still doing that or not). Wouldn't have surprised me if somebody got himself shot trying to convince the idiot to turn 'em on, maybe that was the point, like looking for a way to initiate some "dissing" to overreact to.

Wow, I didn't know you had that kind of crime issue in your area. I'm sure you'd go James Bond/Frank Martin on them if they messed with you ;)
 
Again, that is good reason to explore this hood mounted missile idea. Maybe just a very directed EMP gun to disable their vehicle and get them off the road for awhile.

Eh, seems like every place has 'em these days, and the ones in my area aren't MS-13 or anything. Easy enough to not have problems, but yeah...

Yeah, a more carefully directed application of force would minimize collateral damage :think: And lessen the chance of my vehicle getting hit by any shrapnel :D

It's not law everywhere, but it can help in severely driving storms :scared: Luckily, I mostly manage to not be around when they are.
 
Sometimes I'll turn my headlights off during a really bad snow storm. We're talking about 'hyperspace' type snow storms. You guys who have driven in it know what I'm talking about. I set my fogs up so I can turn them on independently from the headlights, so off go the headlights and on go the 3000K HID fogs. :) It actually really helps, but fortunately I only have to that maybe once or twice a year. I think people understand why I do that too, so it isn't like I'm being an ***. It's the guys who think their vehicle just looks so much cooler with just the parking lights on when the sun goes down that deserve to be blown up. I just wish I could target them from space or something.... (I should probably seek some rage therapy after reading some of my posts. lol)
 
What's bad is when your kids start driving and you realize they get to deal with these morons, and they don't have the experience you have. I did my damnest to point out every bone headed thing I saw someone do every time my daughter was with me and later when she was driving (with learners permit). It must have helped since she points out things and tells me about that "douchbag" - her new word, that was driving a gray car at dusk with no lights.



Stock tip - in 3 years, buy stock in Malox, my second daughter will be driving! Maybe in the company that makes valium too
 
That made me think of something funny. I was driving with my son when he was maybe four or five and someone did something stupid and I called them a 'dumb*** driver'. My son calls out from the back seat "What did you call them? A doughnut driver?" So of course I said that was exactly what I called them. lol So now we drive around pointing out the doughnut drivers whenever we see someone doing something stupid. (which is often in this state. lol)
 
In my city, there is less people driving around at night with no headlights for they will be punished.
