Atlantans cannot drive... or use their brains it seems!

What is it with Atlanta drivers? As a Southerner I'd make fun of people (read: Yankees) who now live here and brought bad habits with them, but this is actually all based on common sense-or lack thereof!

It's raining, dark, foggy or overcast--doesn't matter; it's 'kinda dark'. So what would someone with common sense do? TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS. In ATL? It means continue to drive like an idiot (pick your 'annoyance'--texting while driving, cell phone chatting, no turn signals, swerving in and out of lanes or being a left-lane bandit).

Let me say this again: IT IS A LAW TO HAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR WIPERS ON. Even if it's not raining (or just plain overcast/dusk) why not turn on your lights so that you can see and be seen? Just because you may have x-ray vision, the law still applies to you (especially the whiz kids who drive gray/white/silver/black cars that get lost in low-light situations).

So use your brains, ATLiens--you may save your own life in the process!
