To the editor:

The forecast is calling for more rain this week, and that means more Lawrence motorists driving in reduced visibility without their headlights on. When will they realize that while they may be able to see the road, the rest of us have trouble seeing them? In town, lights are more important for increasing the vehicle’s visibility, while out of town (where there are no street lights), they are more for the driver to see ahead. Also, I’m curious as to why some drivers use only their parking lights. In many states that is illegal. I’m not sure about Kansas statutes on this.

When visibility is reduced by weather or time of day, please use your headlights. After all, the life you save may be MINE!

Bill Lee,
