Turn those lights on !

In World War two blackouts were mandatory but in the 21st century driving in the dark this now not so. I think a few drivers need to be careful during what I think is the most dangerous time of the year. As I leave to drive home it is daylight on a good day but by the time I am home it is dark. So I am seeing a lot of drivers who are going along the road in the 'dusk' time with lights not on. Other road users as well can suffer as a result of cars not turning their lights on. I wonder if like Sweden we should have our headlights on all the time ? I have mixed feelings about it myself.

So, let's try again: What would the downside be? /Anders

I suppose my main worry is how to do this. All the legacy cars out there that do not have their lights on when being driven. So there would be several years when not all cars would have their lights on.
