Commuting Without Headlights

  • Commuting Without Headlights

  • An observation about drivers commuting in the dark without headlights on, ten minutes before official sunrise.
  • The Commute

    • On March 13, 2014, during a short 2-mile, 6-minute commute from my hotel to work, I spotted three separate cars driving without their headlights on.
    • It was still dark outside—about ten minutes before official sunrise—making the cars nearly invisible.
    • It left me wondering why these drivers never look down at their dashboards to notice their lack of lights.
