A previous NAG condemns headlight use while boarding Washington State Ferries.

I wish I could turn off my headlights.

I understand that you should not use your headlights when boarding the WA State Ferries but newer cars headlights are fully automated with no way to turn them off.

I have looked for a way to override the auto headlight feature of my car to no avail. I was told that the highway patrol has a way to do it for their vehicles but otherwise it is not allowed.

I have always been disturbed by just about any industries inability to see the far reaching impact of the convenience factor that they determine without regard to the real world.
