That is the downside of well lit streets. People can see but they don't realize they don't have their headlights on.👤💡

They forget (or don't know) that having their headlights on isn't necessarily so they can see, it's so other people can see them!

Happened to me once, 30 years ago. In my defense, I had driven for an hour at night, came into town and did not notice I lost my lights until leaving town. Still 30 minute from home after midnight. After checking, I lost all electrical in the car. Alternator died and I drained the battery. Once the car was off, it was off. Luckily I stopped at a gas station with a payphone. Got a pickup and went back next day. Jumped the car drove it to a friend's auto garage to get a rebuilt alternator.
After that, I normally consider lights out at night an oops or an emergency. But some are just pricks.

I've definitely made it to the end of my block without headlights in my old car with the white backplate gauges. When I went out of streetlight coverage I suddenly realized I couldn't see shit.
My current car has dark gauges that need to be lit in order to see anything, so I can't make that mistake again.
