In a Fog

This past Monday was an extremely unpleasant day to be driving in the county. This was due to periods of heavy rain, and a fog thicker than leftover Thanksgiving gravy. Even with the obviously dangerous and challenging driving conditions, some of our fair citizens managed to overlook one of the most simple safety multipliers: drive with your headlights on.

I saw a countless number of apparently weak-minded individuals who could not get this simple task completed; I even observed some of them as late as 5:00PM. What gives? Could any “no light” driver clue me in on your thoughts? Are you trying to lay low on police stakeout?
This is not just a personal rant; it’s actually part of Pennsylvania House Bill 2133- Session of 2005. A section of it reads: “Any time when the vehicle's windshield wipers are in ontinuous (sic.) or intermittent use due to precipitation or atmospheric moisture, including rain, snow, sleet or mist (PennDot)”. Please take the time to make yourself more visible to other drivers!
