Filipinos do not like to drive with their headlights on at night. I have seen this time and time again with taxis, cars, trucks, jeepnies, motorcycles, tricycles, commercial trucks overloaded with sugarcane, they simply do not like to turn on their lights at night.
Some jeepny drivers will drive with their lights on but when they come to a lighted area they switch them off and when they leave the area they turn them back on. Some will turn them off when they stop for passengers and turn them back on when they start moving again. WHY?? To save power? That is what the alternator is for!
Other jeepny and tricycle drivers will have their vehicle decked out in green, red, blue, white, or yellow rope lights and the whole thing will be lit up but the headlights will still remain off. I suppose they think they are looking good but really they look garish and they are putting everyone in danger by not using their headlights.
Others install red, green, or blue headlights. What good is that?? The point of headlights is so you can see the road and so others can see you. If other vehicles can see you but you can't see the road in front of you then you have a problem. Especially if your jeepny is overfilled and you got two guys standing on the back step and hanging on outside the vehicle!
Driving with no lights on is the most reckless and infuriating driving habit because it is so dangerous and the danger is easily preventable.
TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS!!!!!!!!!
