I completely agree with the “light switch”. Vehicle on, lights on, very simple. I wish you and your family and friends a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to “reading you” in 2024!

I nearly ran over a small black car in light fog at 3:00AM on the 401 running with no lights near Napanee. He was doing about 50 k/ph compared to my 80.
Saw a glint of light and must have missed him by inches. Scared the living daylights out of me and no doubt he’s telling everyone about the stupid truck driver who nearly ran into him.
Flashing lights at them doesn’t make much difference either. Very few do turn their lights on in response.
