If one of your headlights were out, what would YOU do? (with poll)

So one of my headlights are out. I live in the city.

What would you do until the next day when you can buy a replacement bulb?

a) Drive with 1 headlight. Possibly get pulled over and ticketed.

b) Drive with high beams on. Possibly get shot at while driving.

You will also get pulled over and ticketed for driving past cars with your high beams on.

And I believe the ticket for improper use of highbeams is actually a point on your license. Having a lowbeam out is just a fix it ticket.

Fix the dammed thing. Modern cars, with their halogen capsules are a quick and easy fix. If you have an older car with sealed beam headlights, then it takes a bit more to fix, but still not all that tough…Hell, you could do either one in the parking lot of the parts store in a matter of a few minutes.

If you’re driving on one headlight, whatcha gonna do if the OTHER one goes out while you’re driving?

VERY FEW cops will ignore driving with headlights, and CAN (depending on the state) order your vehicle out of service until you fix it.

So long ago, I dont remember when

Thats when they say I lost my only friend

Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

So I wondered how she hung around this place

Chorus:

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

Theres got to be something better than

In the middle

But me & cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

She said its cold

It feels like independence day

And I cant break away from this parade

But theres got to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I seen the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin all theres good and nothingness is dead

Well run until shes out of breath

She ran until theres nothin left

She hit the end-its just her window ledge

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

Theres got to be something better than

In the middle

But me & cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

Well this place is old

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine, but the engine doesnt turn

Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think Id like to watch it burn

Im so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Man, I aint changed, but I know I aint the same

But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin dreams

I think her death it must be killin me

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

Theres got to be something better than

In the middle

But me & cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

Obviously just use one. If you get pulled over tell them you’re on your awy to get it fixed right now.

Happened to me once and I actually had the replacement bulb in the car with me. I showed him I had it and was going to replace it as soon as I got home and he said OK.

i would drive to walmart and get replacement bulbs

last time i had one go out and i waited to fix it, i got pulled over. luckily, no ticket

This is correct. Highbeams on is a moving violation..

I’ve never seen a unanimous poll before. Wow.

[external_link offset=2]

I voted with all the rest – one headlight.

Get some duct tape and a flashlight.

You outta be able to figure the rest out on your own.

Uh, lol..

In the second case, it’s more like get pulled over, ticketed, AND shot.

I’d use the one headlight. But I wouldn’t race any vettes on the way to my crack dealer until I got the other one fixed.

Wimp

I would turn the other off and try to get home unspotted.

Ding, ding, ding – best idea yet.
