Video update from @SheriffReese regarding police activity on Interstate 84.

Now that we've changed the clocks, let's remember that driving a car in the dark means you have to be extra careful! Lots of people get out walking and it's going to be harder to see them, so you'll want to be attentive.

Before you respond with a variant on "but pedestrians should always [action] if they want to keep themselves safe," hold on to that until later in the thread. It's coming. First, 7 important things for drivers:
1) Not every pedestrian will be dressed like a safety orange Christmas tree modeled after the Vegas strip. If you think wearing jeans and a peacoat makes a pedestrian too hard to see until it's too late, and you're driving where people walk, then you're driving too fast.
