Story time!
Last year saw a revival of drive-in cinemas in my area (for ... obvious reasons).
Apparently drivers are getting so used to the automation, that the staff was doing rounds telling the audience to turn off their automatic lights.
Then, on the way out, at least the driver in front of us completely forgot to turn on the lights again. This was not in a well lit area, but on cross country roads. I honestly have no idea how the driver did not notice that she couldn't see the road well.
- cratermoon 5y agoSame here! I went to a drive-in just a couple of weeks ago, for the first time in .. decades? .. and that happened. The other thing was all the people in big SUVs parking backwards and opening up their tailgates, thus blocking the view of people behind them. The house rules said that open tailgates should not extend higher than the vehicle itself, meaning some folk had them tied partly closed, but I think enforcement was mostly complaint-based. If the drive-in theater became a real thing again, I imagine it would have to adapt to these realities.
