It seems to me that D.R.L.s are no longer a feature on new cars. They seemed quite popular a few years back, but now I see lots of new-ish cars without lights on. I too drove differently when I was mainly a car user and not a cyclist. I understand my perspective is different as now mainly a cyclist/cyclo commuter. But, I don't think it's asking too much (I'd like dedicated bike lanes across the U.S., pipe dream though) to turn your lights on in the rain (state law!) or to use a signal when entering a major roadway or, heck, when leaving a parking spot. If you don't have your lights on and have tinted windows a cyclist can't see you in there and has no clue you're pulling out. Especially if it's Prius!

genec - Yeah, I'm not asking for much. I'd LOVE to, but I'm just asking that you put in a little effort to piloting your deadly machine. Do what you want in your house or backyard, but when you go out in public you gotta get it together and obey the laws and the unwritten laws too, such as common decency. If you can't do that, stay home and entertain yourself. And if you can't be bothered to twist your wrist a bit, or flick your wrist, then don't drive. Walk everywhere. Or get a burro and ride that.

But, to be told to "have a better attitude" by someone breaking the law x2 is a bit laughable, but mostly infuriating. Argh.
