XSAL Member Registered: 05/04/01 Posts: 1685 Loc: 94043 -> 19355	I always have my headlights on whenever I drive. Still I was not aware of this new law in CA. Did you?

Anonymous Unregistered	Hello, Just moved here to NC from South Florida. I believe that is a law in FL as well. It's not as if they don't get any rain there or anything.

Anonymous Unregistered	It's one of those laws that on the books to help increases safety. I'm sure those martinez cops were giving out speeding tickets to the same drivers. Who in California slows to 55 when it rains? I do, but I'm then proceeded to be run off the road.

kirby34 Member Registered: 16/08/00 Posts: 1818 Loc: Santa Clara, CA	Like I mentioned before, this one's irrelevant since I've always turned my lights on when it's raining. I was running errands yesterday around 2:30pm when it was pouring and I figure at least a third of the drivers around didn't have their lights on. Of course, being the cynic that I am, I assume that of those who did have their lights on, many didn't actually turn them on themselves, but rather it was just dark enough for their autoheadlights to engage.
