Here's another grouch; people who drive with their head lights on on bright sunny days.
This is touted by the powers-that-be as a safety measure.

What's safe about having headlights in your interior rear view mirror, especially if the fool behind you doesn't know/care that their lights are on high beam?

The simple solution to the nuisance is to put the mirror onto night view but that reduces your rearward view and is a hazard.

The practice in Europe is to drive with lights on if one wishes to travel at high speed and that led some clown in Australia to think that 'it would be a good thing', completely missing the point of the European practice.

Is Mise I always drive with my lights on when driving on country roads simply because they make for better visibility. BTW, you can get fined fir have your high beams on during the day, that's whatbthe problem is with flashingnoncoming traffic to alert them. You can alert oncoming drivers of a speed trap, you just can't use high beam.
