Fred, that was as stated the "Period of Lighting." Find your vehicle
safety equipment code book.

Gee Fred, how do you REALLY feel? ;-)
I actually think that on American interstates where the lighting is good and
the visibility is generally very far - that is, the view to the horizon -
then we sould not even get so pissy about speeding at night. There is a huge
problem with speeding in poor weather, but sometimes it is best to overlook
the dangesr os weather in favor of looking at the dangers posed by our
fellow drivers. It's a, "look out for the crazies because they are sure as
lell not looking out for you," kind of thing. It is sad, but doing 80 in the
rain might be the safest thing to do.
