I am sharing something I never tought about. One dark
evening on a rural blacktop road, I noticed one white
light ahead about 1/2 mile. Didn't think much other than
must be a motorcycle or a car with one light out. Later,
as it never seemed to approach at normal speed, I still
thought that it might be a vehicle in the other lane
waiting to turn across my lane. That would be an
oncoming vehicle over the interstate overpass which I
was coming up to and wanting to passover. Withing
about 100 yards ( I was closing fast) I saw , in my lane,
the rear lugs of a tractor's wheels zipping by the low
glow of that lamp. I got slowed down in time and hoped
the tractor driver didn't have a heart attack. We both
would have probably tangled and dropped on I380
south bound. If that tractor had no lamp, red or white, I could have
seen the pool of front lighting sooner. There were no
yellow flashers as is normal now days. Turn off the rear
white lamps when on the road!!!!!!!! Please.
