How do you drive in the dark without your lights on?

I would love to know the answer to this as on my daily commute home in the dark I cannot believe how many people forget the simple task of switching on their headlights! Do these people not look at their unlit speedo and say "err, i cant see how fast im going?" Then there are the loonys who remember to switch their lights on but forget to check them, I wish the police would pull vehicles over and fine them for having a light out, just last night I was following a car with no brake lights, if I had run into the back of him how would I prove he had no brake lights working? Then there are the people who seem to think its cool to use foglights and blind every oncoming car - morons! And my final rant are these stupid LED daytime running lights that blind everyone within a 5 mile radius of them - Yes they are great for daytime use but at night they are simply too bright and a HAZARD!!!!

Rant over, now im looking forward to tonight to blind these mindless braindead morons with my xenons Whistle Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

dials on many cars light all the time then dimmed to your set level when the lights are on. At work

As I understand it DRL's should be wired to extinguish as soon as normal lights are switched on, must be the Corsa Boy's Question
Front fogs don't bother me, it's the ones with their Rear Fogs on Censored me off, especially if you get behind one at a set of lights and they sit there with Rear Fogs on and their foot on he brake Evil or Very Mad or the one three or four vehicles in front of you on the motorway, as they drift in the lane every thinks they are brake lights Evil or Very Mad
