In the U.S., new cars have to be equipped with Daytime Running Lights, which can be shut off. This also sees idiots driving at night with their lights in "auto" mode, which on some vehicles, just has the headlights on, no tail lights.That's weird, Dave.

Whenever I left the propshop (USAFRes) I took a clipboard and paperwork. Worked most of the time, except for cleaning paint off C-119 cowl flaps with Turco & Painting the blue stripe down the fuselage. When many people were needed, they came into the shops looking.I did just that in the Michigan Army National Guard as a Sargent when drilling at the Armory. It didn't get me promoted.
