Don't forget to turn on headlights when it's raining

Yesterday was an awful commute to work in the rain.

I counted more than half a dozen vehicles on Interstate 83 that didn't have their headlights on, and visibility wasn't the greatest.

If the windshield wipers are working, drivers are required by law to turn on their vehicle headlights, too.

Police say the headlights help to make your vehicle visible to other drivers and pedestrians, and taking these measures will hopefully prevent accidents.

In one of my columns last year, police had issued nearly 100 citations for failing to comply with the law, which went into effect in January 2007.
