Half of the people are below average.

GM didn’t sell any myth about lights being on all the time. Don’t give them that much credit. It was fleet managers that determined that and insurance companies that backed it up with real data. Manufacturers just capitalized off of it.

Federal law should mandate all deer wear reflective vests.

Feds should also mandate those driving take a driving test to get their license, but I see no proof of it around here. 

3 lane change on a 4 lane street across closely moving traffic without signals.

My pet one, using the center turn lane as an acceleration lane to merge into traffic.  They never win that race with me.

Or use it as a passing lane.   I've seen that a few times.

My truck find the brights when there is an on coming car.  It will also dim on the reflection it gets back from road signs. 

Mine will too if I enable the auto dim feature.  I'm not an idiot so prefer to decide on my own when I want bright or dim lights.  I do like the auto on feature.

There's something screwy with the "chassis control module" on my Tahoe.  When I park at night I have to stand there like an idiot waiting for the headlights to go off before it will let me lock the doors.   Sometimes they go off in 4-5 seconds, and other times it is as much as a minute.  

I hate the auto door lock crap because I can't just stop, hop out and grab something from the back, and a passenger can't just open the door and get out without first unlocking all the doors.  It only unlocks the driver door when I put it into Park.   There's all kinds of stupid soccer mom crap built into the programming because I guess they think someone will jump in the passenger seat when they pull into Walmart and rape them.   Personally I'd rather a few just go ahead and get raped so that the rest of us could own a vehicle that WE could control ourselves.  If they are going to program that stupidity into vehicle control modules then they should at least make it where you can disable it if you want to.

I also hate the auto lock/unlock.  I pulled up in front of the house today to go through the process of unloading my mom, requires a footstool.  The daNG passenger door was still locked because I had left it running, happens to me often.  Seems unsafe to me that it would automatically unlock both doors, when I put it in park, shut off engine and open drivers door.  Truthfully I believe I have seen the option to disable the entire auto lock feature, too bad I can't disable that annoying dIngersoll that says I don't have my seat belt on, annoys the crap out of me when launching retrieving at the ramp.

Sounds like a Ford.  Yes you can by choosing the doors to not lock when you get in and take off.

I'm the guy that high beams all those drl folks and yells across the parking lot "hey dummy, ya left your headlights on, again". Son in law has told me about thousand times that they will go off after while and I keep telling him to get that fixed.

So, coming home from RRSP the other week out on the prairie near Rocky Comfort I see what looks like landing lights coming towards me and then a yellar light bar on top starts  flashing, kinda like a wrecker; I slow down and the lights so bright I'm going about 10mph and looking in the right ditch til I get even with it and look over - it was a hard top buggy  and another was behind it with lights like low beam car lights. That lead buggy was lighting up fields 300 yards on both sides of the highway. Was Sunday and I suppose after meeting. Met two more farther down but they were just moderately lit up.

 Those that  run fog or rain with no lights just need to be towed in few times. haul em to jail and the vehicle to the impound,  Suspected impaired, because failure to drive safely,  after the blow send them on their way. Just advertising that it was going to happen would cure most of them.

Most of the roads I drive are so crooked that the only head lights you see for more than 10 seconds are in your mirror. I find that it doesn't matter at all if both drivers are on the right side and if either is on the left side the headlights are the first to know.
