    On my way to the office this rainy morning, I noticed that only about 20-30% of the cars on the road use at the very least, their courtesy lights. Maybe 5% use driving lights and maybe 1% use their headlights. I understand that in Europe, the moment you use your wipers (even in light drizzles) you must turn on your courtesy lights.

    When it rains, who of you use your lights?

    I use my lights but what irks me are the O V E R A C T I N G motorists that flash their hazard lights at a mere downpour. You can even see 2 - 3 vehicles ahead from you and the rain is not that heavy enough.

    Using hazard lights are actually a no-no...

    I always turn on my park lights and in slight to moderate conditions, my fog lights. I use my headlights when it's really pouring or when i'm on the highway.

    yes, esp during heavy downpour. it's dangerous to be hit by those blinded by the rain. hassle!

    Dami sa NLEX nito. Konting ulan lang parang christmas light effect na. Nakakainis. Hindi mo malaman kung sino ang hihinto, nasiraan or something. Maybe this is needed for extreme conditions only.

    Headlights ON. My parklights are dead and I still haven't gotten around to wiring up my signal lights for double contact :D

    yes, park lights/headlights. no hazzard lights. kainis mga naka-hazzard dahil lang sa ulan, di mo alam kung hihinto o kakanan o kakaliwa

    me park lights but if its really zero visibility low beam headlamps on, para kita ka ng sinusundan mo, pero never hazard coz they'll never know if you are turning left or right, hazard ginagamit lang kapag nakahinto ka on hi-way's shoulder, pang emergency.

    park lights ako kung di ganung kababa visibility.
    pero pag medyo limited na, i turn on my driving lights.

    pero pagka-gabi and limited visibility na aside from the headlights and driving lights, i turn also my hazards para makita ako nung nasa likod ko. dark colored oto eh.

    In California you are required to turn on your headlights if you are using your windshield wiper. If you must use your lights while driving you have to use the headlights, parking lights are not to be used w/o the headlights if driving. I guess that's why it's called parking lights and not driving lights. Hazards are for emergency situations only or when your vehicle is not functional in the middle of the road.
