Canada Passes New Regulations to Stop People Driving Without Headlights at Night

locally,
probably borne out of yesterdecades' automotive generators.
automobile generators, before alternators, were known for under-charging the car battery, when driven at slower speed.
not using the headlights back then, was a common practice believed to lessen the battery's discharge rate.
as late as the 60s, car batteries were de rigueur re-charged regularly by external battery chargers, to keep them healthy.

and yes,
not everybody remembers that an important function of the headlights, is to warn the other motorists that there is a moving car out there that occupies space and has to be avoided.

btw,
i personally have observed that, at night, a number of car bumper lights, are actually even more glaring than their headlights.
while the low-beam headlights are traditionally aimed low, some bumper lights are either aimed straight horizontally, or their reflectors are not designed to contain glare.
someone here pointed out some time ago, that big T's bumper lights are notorious for this. is it the factory bumper lights, or is it the owner-upgraded version...?

Bros, the dashboard light which is always turned on in modern cars, compounded by the drl, confuse the current North American drivers into not turning on the headlights during the night.

If the dashboard light was off, the driver will need to turn it on as he could not see the gauges at night. With this action, he will also (hopefully with a second click) turn on the headlights, just like in the older vehicles..

It was better a few years ago, before the current LED drl, that the headlight is turned on when you start the engine. No complications on the road...

kasi nga ganyan, naka illuminate na yung gauges..

madaming beses na ako may nakakasalubong na patay ang headlights.. naka DRL lang ang masakit pa, hindi din illuminated yung rear lights..

pero may ibang sadyang hindi nag iilaw.. para daw tipid sa gas at hindi ito agad mapundi.. hehe

btw, sa fortuner, walang OFF sa headlight stalk, AUTO, PARK, ON lang option.. yung iba kasi may OFF na option eh.. at least, lagay mo sa PARK, naka ilaw pa din yung tail lights

Always on din yung dashboard lights dun sa isang post 2020 vehicle ko.

Fortunately, there's a setting where you can make the intensity of the glow automatically adjust when the lights are switched on. I also set it to the 2nd or 3rd dimmest setting from what I saw in an old WWII pilot guide in a museum. According to the guide, don't stare at the (illuminated) gauges too long or you'll lose critical outside night vision... kaya ayun, alam ko if on lights ko because the dashboard lights dim when they're on (baliktad nga eh!).


A good driver naman (generally) shouldn't be staring at the gauges, except for the occasional glance (check speed/fuel level). Pag wala problem car mo, temp and input voltage are optional (though useful), and if gamay mo powerband ng car mo on a stick shift, optional din ang tachometer. "Know" your vehicle, and you'll be able to maximize what you can push it to!

Parang may mali ata dun sa high beam ah, for a left hand drive country.

Pag high beam on a left hand drive vehicle country where we drive on the right lane of the road going forward, ang bato dapat ng ilaw ng headlight is pa-kanan to avoid blinding the drivers of oncoming cars.

However, there are those who deliberately adjust their headlights so the high beams blind other drivers (turning their headlights into "weapons" for passive aggressive behavior [aka. labang/tirang DUWAG]... tapos if something happens, patay malisya pang "I didn't start it *kuno*"---> grow a set of yagb*lls. Please.

Made me look at US websites and it does seem like the high beams do aim slightly left.

I suppose if you have high beams on then it means you're more concerned about maximizing visibility and not too much about blinding incoming traffic.

puro na lang counter flow, baket ba naging normal na ang counterflow sa 2 wheels??? kase ba mismo gobyerno ang pasimuno ng counter flow???

baket hindi takot ang mga 2 wheels sumemplang

para sa akin mali ang motorsiklo, oo pwede siya mag overtake kase broken lane nga naman, pero kung mag overtake ka, alam mo at tangap mo dapat na nasa alangain ka kase nga nasa mali direksyon ka.

you mean,
those who are not disabled but use the reserved parking slot for the disabled, anyway?
they should be banned from the parking facility for a long period of time, kapag na-huli.

That too. But what I mean is reserved for people who paid for a reserved slot and said slot has a corresponding sign and orange cone to ensure no one mistakes it for a free slot.

the parking facility operator should have something special for folks like that.
as it's a private facility, they probably have the authority to assert themselves.
of course, if they choose to do nothing, then said mis-activity is expected to be a recurring issue.

I heard this usually happens to condo parking lots too?

In some condos and office buildings, they penalize people who park illegally. Back in Accra Law Building, wrong parking is 2k pesos per incident. There were a couple of times where other tenants park at our designated slots. The Building Security monitors the parking area for illegal parkers.

To be deducted from your fees?

I remember a long time ago, I thought I was lucky to find a vacant parking slot. Turned out it was reserved for a VP in our company. He called me and gave me a "warning".
