Night Riders with no lights

[terracore]

My favorite are the drivers who can't read or understand the ten "Slower Traffic Keep Right" signs on the 5 mile stretch between 130 and Kawailani St.

Then they're really stupid, because my low lights are really LOW!

Then maybe they think you have an issue with your lights. If even you think they are low, maybe others think you only have daytime running lights on? Maybe they are trying to tell you something? I have 4 vehicles - this doesn't happen to me at all.

I can't see much at night with my lights on, so little driving after dark for me.[:p]

My little Dodge is 12 years old and the low lights are not bright at all. I think "my 2 cents" has a good point and I've thought of that. I'm not saying everyone flashes their high lights at me but it just seems like night drivers spend too much time flashing their high lights on and off. []

I guess horns and lights are not an effective means of communication on the road. So what is?
Tried hand gestures and while they get the point across, are not winning me friends.

[My 2 cents]

"Tried hand gestures and while they get the point across, are not winning me friends."

Um....Are you using hand gestures, or just finger gestures?

Flashed my lights at someone on 130 the other night as it was just getting dark. He was in very dark, big pickup truck. He flashed his lights back at me like 5 times really fast, then left them off. I took it to mean, "Don't tell me what to do." (An attitude I find here like nowhere I've ever lived.) Everywhere else I've ever lived, flashing one's lights was the polite way to remind someone it was dark, and tell them you had hard time seeing them. It was even taught to us in driver's ed. Always welcomed elsewhere.

I guess this is just one more Hawaii vs mainland thing, or maybe rural vs. city? Not sure. Then again, when I grew up in Maryland, used country roads all the time, and it was a standard practice.

btw, I like California law that says if wipers are on, lights are on. Not sure if we have that here. I think it was talked about at one point by someone in state house.

No lights on in the dark (not just dusk, but dark)? I bright 'em! It's safer for me cause then I can see them better. Responses have been mixed...
