- One dark, rainy, foggy night I was traveling along I 84 when over the
- hill the sky lit up with a lot of flashes. I estimated that I was
- about
- 1 1/2 to 2 miles away from the accident scene but the lights in the sky
- reflecting in the fog and rain sure warned me that a problem was ahead
- of me.
-
- I do like the lights but they do have draw backs, most systems have a
- day night mode that is not used by most operators. And also they will
- blind you if you look into the light.
