Filipino motorists instructed to use their headlights when driving at night

-
Apparently, an obvious safety measure flies over the heads of the average Filipino motorist, as Quezon City Councilor Jaime Borres observes that "driving with the headlights dimmed or not in the appropriate brightness is a major cause of road mishaps, especially during heavy rains at night"...
He reminded motorists of Ordinance No. SP 1852 S 08, which requires them to turn on their headlights to the proper density from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day as deterrent to road mishaps.

Aside from reckless driving, lack of road visibility caused by turned off or malfunctioning headlights of motor vehicles has been traced to be one of the major causes of road accidents.

The need to turn on headlights at night. For the Filipino, it's another one of those things that make you go hmmmm...

These 20 ladies supposedly "grabbed the greatest online mindshare in 2010". So presumably, they reflect the substance of the Filipino collective mind.
