Rain is God's way of showing you how many IDIOTS have drivers' licences. TURN YOUR FREAKIN' LIGHTS ON WHEN ITS RAINING! 😵

what is amazing is auto accidents is a major number of deaths. While many cry about guns, autos kill more. So what happens across the country? Most schools cancel drivers ed. Yep, let their parents who haven't taught their kids basics and don't know how to drive themselves teach their kids. Then leave the borders open and let more bad drivers in, who probably won't have insurance.

And those drivers run off after they cause accidents that kill someone or causes thousands in damages. IF you even get a name you can try to find a driver with their name when there are hundreds of them using that name in the same house or neighborhood... and they either don't speak English or deny they were driving...have no ID of any sort, not to mention NO license and of course no insurance. Maybe we should ban alcohol too...seeing how many drunk drivers there are that kill people.
When I was an LEO I would give 'non-compliant' driver's every opportunity to turn their lights on when it was raining. I'd flash my headlights, turn my blue lights on, etc. Most of the time the latter got them to comply. However, if that didn't work, and I had to resort to a 10-81, get out in the rain, and get soaked because of their ignorance and stupidity; they received a citation.
If you haven't heard about the multiple-vehicular fiery accident on I-65 that occured around 2:30 yesterday afternoon, see the link below. There were multiple fatalities. Some of the more detailed pics have been removed since last night. We were on our way back from GS yesterday. A normal 6+ hour drive took almost 9 hours due to the EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN from TS Claudette. We 'missed' being in the before-mentioned accident by less than an hour. All north and southbound traffic from I-65 was re-routed to US Hwy 31. Even being ahead of that, we still never exceeded 50mph for most of the way from Montgomery to Cullman. The number of drivers observed with NO HEADLIGHTS was staggering.
Tragic addendum to I-65 accident:
