Turn your headlights on today!

It’s going to snow today. I’ll drive home today with zero visibility and without fail I’ll see or not see drivers without their headlights on. Earth to you: headlights are not only to help you see but so that others can see you.

Turn them ON! Don’t be that guy today. 

Not only is driving without your headlights on really stupid, potentially negligent, and dangerous – it’s illegal in Connecticut:

Every vehicle upon a highway within this state shall display such lighted lamps and illuminating devices as may be required …  at any time during periods of precipitation, including, but not limited to, periods of snow, rain or fog.  Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 14-96a.

Have a safe commute home.
