Charmion BS: Car lights during daylight hours??????? (54* d) RE: BS: Car lights during daylight hours??????? 02 Jul 18


I learned to drive in the armed forces, as part of my training. Canadian military vehicles in those days were always black, dark green or olive drab, and we were taught always to drive with the headlights on to make us more visible on the road.

Then, when we had mastered that set of skills, we learned to drive overland in tactical conditions, including blackout.

About the same time (circa 1975), the Canadian forces supplied its soldiers with luminescent wristwatches that had to be returned to stores on posting or release.

Thus, we came to accept that we had signed up to serve with an outfit that required us to drive with our lights on in daytime and the lights off at night, and would take away our watch when we retired.
