Rain + Headlights=Proper Driving Habits, Rain-Accident=Possible Death, You Decide

Nothing makes me more upset than driving through rain, or sleet, or snow and seeing only a handful of drivers using their headlights....but it isn't night time you say....that does not matter. It is said at the DMV when you get your license at a ripe young age of 16 that you should use your headlights anytime the conditions are not perfect....that would mean at dusk, dawn, fog, rain, snow, sleet,.......ANYTIME it isn't perfectly sunny and gorgeous! Why does this irritate me so much you say...well mainly cause i have children in my car and when it is raining so hard you can barely see the front of your car it is IMPOSSIBLE to see a grey car without headlights on in front of you until 2 seconds before they turn in front of you and almost cause a head on collision. BUT if they had headlights on i would have had more of a warning that someone was heading my way and maybe could have saved a life of myself, my children or for Gosh sakes maybe even the driver or the children of the person who was driving...without their headlights on....USE YOUR HEADLIGHTS..it won't waste more gas or deplete your battery. It doesn't take more than 1 second to flip the switch. Why is it so hard to do?? What do all you people have against using your headlights?? Do you know that many cars have been designed to have headlight son 24-7 because it is so dangerous in certain cities not to have them on...that is even more of a reason to USE YOUR HEADLIGHTS. PLEASE.please. please.please. For gosh sakes, please!!!!!!!!!!!!
