The problem with countdown signals is that it doesn't really work well with preemptive signals - intersections that detects the amount of traffic and change the lights accordingly.MrOnBicycle posted:Don't forget slowly creeping over the line as well. Happens all the time. No, you should steadily apply the brakes until you're 50 yards away, and then roll towards the intersection at just above idling speed, around 5-10 mph. Then you have a rolling start if it suddenly turns green!

No you're not. You've learned that it's possible to use the signal before turning the wheel. I don't think that invention has made it here yet

GutBomb posted:Don’t you live in Sweden? Don't know about the person you quoted, but about ten years ago cars here in the EU started having the rear lights off in day time. I imagine it was pushed through by the manufacturers to ale the car go a few feet longer per litre/gallon. The first generations of those cars didn't have light sensors, so they'd have rear lights off at night. Newer cars do, but they rarely go on in heavy rain. On other cars I've seen them suddenly turn on as they go under an underpass or into a tunnel, acting much like a brake light u til you register that it's weaker and only two lights. I don't know which is worse. At least always-on rear lights are coming back. Is it just because LED are efficient enough that it doesn't matter, or has the number or rear end collisions gone up measurably?

It also depends on the type of fog. If the ground is warm and relatively humid air suddenly cools at night to form fog, there's a reasonable chance that there is no fog near the ground. In that case fog lights, if they're actually low enough on the car, will absolutely help, and main head lights will just scatter in the fog and blind everyone.

totalnewbie posted:When you get right down to it, what is a headlight but a very specialized flashlight? A big lens assembly that focuses the light onto the road and not into other people's eyes (when adjusted and used correctly). Flashlights can have narrow or wide beams, but they're almost always uniform in shape.
