I've also seen quite a few cars brake lights on constantly, even when they are accelerating
When I was driving to Richmond yesterday, this green C-class coupe had the brake lights on ALL THE TIME. I don't think they know it's broken.

With DRL (headlights and interior dash lit), so many dangerous drivers don't even realize their rear lights are off, particularly dangerous when foggy.

I went to Alderwood mall earlier and once I passed Peace Arch Outlet heading south on I-5 it was sunny as hell. I'm getting sick of the fog

Just noticed how ineffective street lights are on my way home this evening. Nanaimo St actually looked dark, even though all the street lights were working and there was a substantial amount of cars on the road. I wonder how long we're going to have to live with the fog.

Snapped this pic at Granville Island this evening...damn foggy today...and COLD! and yes...that's supposed to be Granville St bridge right in front of you. I took this in the area behind the public market/food court area
