An automotive expert has warned drivers to make sure that they set their car\u2019s lights properly before driving at night to avoid accidents and fines.<\/p>\n
Abigayle, a motoring journalist and influencer who goes by the name SheTalksCars, regularly posts short videos to her TikTok page giving drivers advice on how to make the most of their cars.<\/p>\n
In one of her latest posts, Abigayle vents her frustration for motorists who drive at night without turning their headlamps on.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThere\u2019s something we need to address drivers, those who drive at night because I\u2019ve seen too many drivers doing this. Not only is it against the law, it\u2019s extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t put their lights on, or they\u2019re not properly working. Do you understand how dangerous that is? I\u2019d rather someone blinded me with Xenons than not have lights working!\u201d<\/p>\n

People are just so oblivious nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/shetalkscars-4971950.jpg?r=1695847079695\")
