Switch on the headlights, damnit!

I always have a very low opinion on the competence of Malaysian drivers in general. They never seem to use their rear view and side mirrors. They are incapable of using the turn signals to indicate which way they want to turn (and that without checking if there are vehicles behind or at their side). They fail to judge the main traffic speed when merging, most of the time driving at too slow a speed AND shooting right out to the fastest lane, regardless if there is a truck barrelling down that lane. They LOVE to hog the fast lane, driving at a leisurely pace, never mind the fact that the entire road ahead is as clear as the desert and there is a long row of cars piling up behind them. They are also incapable of understanding the basic rule of "keep left when not overtaking". I can go on and on, but this morning in atrocious weather condition, another boo-boo that Malaysian drivers love to do is...THEY DON'T SWITCH ON THE HEADLIGHTS!

The heavy drizzle this morning combined with the total overcast sky and misty condition causes extremely poor visibility on the road. Yet only about half of the vehicles see it fit to switch on their headlights. Yes, you could argue that it's still bright enough to see the road. But that is not the point. The point is, you can barely see the vehicle in front or at your back in such atrocious conditions, and to be INVISIBLE is to court trouble! The main reason why you should switch on the headlights (the main beam, not that useless parking light) is to INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY! If people cannot see you, how safe do you think you are on the road?? With fine mist being sprayed all over your vehicle from the car in front, tell me how far it can go before you can't see jack shit? The answer is barely 50 meters!

So, for your own sake, for the sake of ALL other vehicles on the road...do freaking turn on the headlights, and that is the main beam, not the useless parking lights. Those driving continental cars should turn on their rear fog light as well. The whole point is not because you have superman eyes that can see through such atrocious road and weather condition, but so that lesser mortals like Malaysian drivers can bloody see you!!!
