Driving Lights Aren’t Headlights…Psst, Check Your Dashboard!
Idiocy Meter
Asshole Meter
We were driving around in Downtown L.A. on Hill St. a few weeks back at around 9:00 p.m. and came across this black VW that had its headlights on but no tail lights. Apparently, this idiot still hasn’t gotten used to the daytime running lights feature of VW vehicles. Here’s a clue: look at your dashboard, control panel, etc. inside your car. Can you even read the speedometer? How about the A/C or radio controls? If his car is anything like the Jetta we once drove, then there’s no way to see anything on the dashboard at 9 p.m. without physically switching your headlights on. Then again, the plethora of clueless drivers in L.A. isn’t exactly a new phenomenon.

My sister’s Honda Accord dash lights come on when you turn the key, it’s kinda like LED, you don’t touch a thing. Another technology that makes drivers more stupid.
Ed, I remember when I had my Lexus ES300 a few years back, it had automatic headlights. So whenever I was driving in a tunnel, everything would come on…headlights, tail lights, dash lights, etc. I just think if manufacturers are going to automate some of these features, they shouldn’t half-ass it and make it all or nothing with regards to the lights on the car because of all the idiots on the road.
