If you have a gray or silver vehicle and you are driving it in the middle of a thunderstorm, when the rain is sheeting down, visibility is down to a few hundred feet and it is nearly as dark out as Dick Cheney's eternal soul:
Turn Your Motherfucking Headlights On, You Imbecile!
Your vehicle is almost invisible in such conditions. But if you had half-a-brain in your head, which you obviously do not, the evidence being that you didn't have your lights on (and you have Jersey plates), you'd know that already. So either turn your lights on or go find a nice quiet spot and kill yourself.
This has been a public service announcement from the Earth-Bound Misfit.
That is all.
Unmasking A Few Realizations

How close was it ?...;-)
Somewhere in between "hey, look at that moron" and "oh, shiiiiiiit!"
Add light blue; it's almost as bad. With 25 years as a long-haul trucker, ninjas (stealth drivers) were one of my pet peeves. Good on you for posting about it.
I have a small light blue car, and the headlights are turned on all the time it is on the road. I drive a large truck at work, and anything smaller than it can (and will) be seriously compromised in a physics related incident (if you're a math major, vectors can be demonstrated in real time). When I drive my car, I know I'm just another potential bug on the bumper of a truck. Forget defensive driving -- go for paranoid driving, 'cause they are out to get you!
Marc, my private rule is if the engine is on, the lights are on.
Bulbs are cheap. Funerals, not so much.
whoa!
