Often when driving at dawn or dusk I encounter vehicles being driven without headlights turned on. While there may be adequate daylight remaining (barely) for the driver to see where s/he is going, there is another important consideration; seeing is not enough – being seen is just as important! Especially dark colored vehicles. Trust me, I do not want to turn, pull or back my car out in front of another one. The last thing on my wish list is to change lanes and cause a crash because I could not see a vehicle alongside. Accidents such as these are more likely to happen when vehicles are not as visible as they could be. Please, headlights on for safety. On when it is foggy. On when it is raining (required by law in Ohio and some other states if windshield wipers are operating.) Everyone benefits from accident prevention. Seeing AND being seen! Both! Yet another everyday example of incorporating “and”.
