The inconsiderance of not turning on your headlights when visibility is limited could cost someone their safety.
Fog conditions have created low visibility as seen here. There is a signal light just 200 yards past this sign. I’ve noticed several cars driving without headlights which creates a dangerous situation. Headlights on, phones down.
