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.
