The thing about driving in a heavy storm.

But before this, here's a funny scene. I was driving slowly as there's this big puddle on the road, being the considerate driver I go slow to avoid splashing water on the cars beside me. That is when a car whizzed right past me, and I "evaded" the splash, even closed my eyes, of which I should not be doing. Took me a second to realize that I'm driving in my car, so I obviously wont get wet, and obviously should not be closing my eyes.

On to the real rant.

Everyone knows that when driving in a heavy storm, the windshield and the side mirrors gets all wet and fogged up, which will deter the driver's (and other drivers) vision. What do you do to increase visibility of your vehicle and reduce the chance of an accident?

Simple, you turn on your headlights.

It wasn't until I'm halfway home until a storm started. Just before the Ampang-KL elevated highway, so I naturally turned my headlights on.

When I was just about to switch lanes, I put up my signal, just about to turn the wheel, and a retarded car whizzed right past. You guessed it, no headlights.

Is it really that hard to turn the headlights on? I mean, all you do is extend your fingers and after two clicks, voila, your lights are on.

Who gives a rat's piss about your superman vision. If you don't turn the lights on, you risk injuring yourself and other motorists, and whoever at fault is too damn obvious. Hell I can even crash my car onto yours and the fault is still yours. All I have to do is say "How am I supposed to see your car, when its so hard for you to turn the lights on?"

Seriously, I've had enough near misses while I was driving. I don't need another.

Here's a hoedown, Whose Line? style:

I was driving in a storm, I turned on the lights.
Because if I don't do so, cops gives me a fright.
If you're retarded or just in a hangover,
The thing that makes you stop, will not be a pull over.
