A quicky on headlights:
Leave them on ALL the time.  The Toronto Transit Commission did a 1 year study a
few years back.  They had half the bus have their lights on all the time, the
other half only during rain or at night.  Busses were randomly selected
(indepented of driver, etc.) for lights/no lights.
How hard is it to hit a bus is broad daylight?
SIGNIFICANTLY easier if it doesn't have its lights on!
All busses in Toronto have their lights on all the time.
I have my Q-H lights on all the time.
The only time I have come close to hitting other cars, the other car has been
black or grey without its lights on, usually in rain.
I wear seatbelts, but I would rather not use them
