I swear to god I mostly don't have road rage

[etben]

so I have actual posts to make (family stuff! flaily life stuff! oh my god I start student teaching in LESS THAN A WEEK oh fuck oh fuck panic stuff!), but I just need to get this off of my chest:

If visibility is less than absolutely perfect, put your fucking headlights on when you are driving. That includes twilight! That includes heavy rain or snow! And that absolutely includes heavy rain/snow/ick in the early morning or late evening! Your headlights may not do a fuck of a lot of good for your ability to see the road, but they make an enormous difference in how well the rest of us can see you.

This announcement has been brought to you by the department of JESUS FUCK, PUT YOUR FUCKING HEADLIGHTS ON, PEOPLE.

...and now I will go back to Operation: Bake ALL the cookies!

...bake ALL the cookies?

I had this exact rage yesterday morning, when I was driving on the highway and it was rainy and foggy and you could only see about twenty feet in front of you, and people were still driving with their headlights off. WTF why would you do that, assholes? >:(

I mean, I recognize that I am sliiiiiightly compulsive about the headlights thing? because my grandmother terrified me enough when I was learning to drive that I will never be able to drive in even the slightest rain without my headlights on.

BUT STILL. It was raining sideways this morning; clearly that is a sign that you should signal your presence to others?
