Don't want any of the good INGO members here to get in a crash, maybe even hurt or killed, SO....
DEFINITELY LOOK TWICE when going thru an intersection, after dark!!
Just a half hour ago (12:20AM), I was headed up to the local gas station to get my wife's cigarettes*. Was waiting at a green light to turn left. There was one car coming in the opposite direction thru the intersection. Note: whenever I'm making a left turn at a light, I always stop where you would if the light were RED, and then creep forward as oncoming traffic is about to clear.
This time, right behind the oncoming car (I mean right behind, as in 'hugging his rear bumper") was another car; grey in color (matching the wet pavement) and not a single light on. I nearly hit this guy, and would have hit him, if not for braking and turning my wheels to the right, quickly!
Be careful out there folks, make sure to LOOK TWICE, and turn your dang lights on after dark.....
* I know; "is there any other reason to quit smoking"?
Answer: Yes! Heart. Lungs. Offensive odor. RIDICULOUS PRICE.
