I have gotten very used to people flagging me down to tell me my tail lights are broken. Well, they aren't broken....I am just too stupid to remember to turn on the headlights. So while this is a problem, it is a driver interface malfunction!

The headlights are already on. They never go off once the engine is running.
So at night the drivers thinks all the lights are on because the HLs are on.

They arent.

That must be a gigantic cup, the only cup I've found the Yaris couldn't hold is the largest 7-11 cup, which i think was more a function of the design of the cup rather than the cupholder.

The first mod I did to my car was to take out the box that enabled DRL's. So if my lights are on, I turned them on. I don't need a piece of garbage lawyer telling me how to drive.

And foreign drivers drive better, they also have multiple choices for never owning a car at all. The second you choose to spend the trillions in creating a fully functional reliable national transportation system in the US, then you will see less accidents as the people that don't want to drove won't need to. Although trillions probably won't be enough.

As it is now, to live in the US you must own a vehicle, hence the dirt cheap driver training and licensing costs.
