Now that we are on the topic on driving with your headlights on, I remember
most times when I saw people driving with their headlights on – there were
kids in the car.

Is that a coincidence or is it a law I don’t know about?  I do know that a
school bus always has its headlights on when kids are aboard. Is there
someone out there in the networld that can shed some "light" on this?

I knew a guy that always drove with his headlights on, but only on
an interstate, always said a prayer too.  He was killed in a car
accident on the interstate.

The moral of the story is not to drive with you headlights on and pray
while on the interstate.  :-)

This *lights on* stuff reminds me of the radiation (film) badges we
wear at Fermilab.  The joke is that the badge *protects* you from the
radiation, when in reality it just tells you (after the fact) how
much radiation you were exposed to.

I’d still like to know which day of the week that accidents with or
without lights occur so I can stay at home that day.  I love statistics,
you can do so much with them.  :-)
