    I’ve always wondered this. Why are the on just when it’s raining? Why not all the time? What is the justification for operating a car on the road without lights on?

      In Slovakia and AFAIK nearby countries you will get pulled over and ticketed if you don’t have your headlights on at all times

      saving a few bucks on the bulbs I guess. No real reason not to have them, owning a car is already expensive, the added cost from headlight bulbs being replaced more frequently is a rounding error.

      Really the main reason is gonna be that that’s how things are done and so there is no political will to change it.
