Hey NJ and PA! Fix Your Headlights!

Is it simply me, or are there extra ding-dongs on the market driving at night time with damaged headlights currently?

Previously two weeks or so throughout my nightly commute house from Central Jersey, into Philadelphia, and into South Jersey, I’ve seen extra drivers driving at night time with damaged/dimmed headlights

Which is SO harmful!

Just a few nights in the past, I used to be driving within the left lane of I-295 once I noticed two extraordinarily dim headlights in my rearview mirror rushing as much as journey my bumper. Severely?? What sort of particular person has the nerve to come back rolling up on somebody like that with damaged headlights…at night time!? The entire audacity and not one of the frequent sense. I can not inform you what number of four-letter phrases I’ve uttered in my automobile currently. “[D]ucking fool” is my new catch-phrase.

If truth, if you realize your headlight or taillights are damaged, you should not be driving in any respect!! Particularly at night time! In case you have someplace to be, on the very least, you higher get there earlier than dusk so different drivers can SEE your flippin’ automobile!

Simply final week I noticed a fully unlit Jeep driving within the left lane of I-95. Thoughts you, it was round 7pm in October! The automobile was virtually invisible. Usually, I attempt to not work together with different autos whereas I am driving, however I felt compelled sufficient to flash my shiny beams on the automobile from behind, hoping my “Hey! Flip your automobile lights on!” would translate. It didn’t.

Driving round right here in New Jersey and surrounding areas is already sketchy sufficient. Many Jersey/Philly drivers usually wish to label themselves as straight-forward, no-nonsense drivers, with a -“We’re not aggressive! You simply do not know what you are doing“- kind perspective. It is time to recover from that. As a result of based mostly on what I’ve seen on our roads currently, no person has a proper to say that.
