    Cars with no taillights!

    Driving home tonight I saw 3 cars with headlights ON, but no tail lights! These car manufacturers should not design a car where your headlights could be on, but not your tail lights. Sure the driver should know that only their daytime running lights are on. But they cant tell their tail...
