headlights when you have wipers!!

HEADLIGHTS, jackass.

The pouring rain plus spray from all the cars plus the fact that somehow, the sun is also out and therefore everything is reflecting blinding WHITE (including the clouds) means that no one can see your goddamn WHITE car.

Jerk.

Since most people tend to start driving like idiots as soon as a couple drops start to appear, it's only natural that they would be even worse in a storm. It's like my Dad said when he was teaching me to drive, "Treat every other driver on the road like an idiot".

State law in PA (and NY, at the least) - if you have wipers on, headlights *must* be on.

Of course, that doesn't help at all, except to give me the chance to add "It's the law, you fucking asshole" in addition to whatever other insults I may be hurling their direction.

Me, I've taken to turning on the lights all the time, mostly because I have a 45 minute commute at sunrise and (in winter) another 45 minutes at sunset. Got tired of turning 'em on halfway home.

"Treat every other driver on the road like an idiot"

Not a bad policy - if you do this, you're guaranteed to be right 100% of the time.

Yep. He would tell me to think that the other drivers are going to do the stupidest thing every time so that I'd be a little prepared if someone tries to jump into my lane or something like that.
