Dear cyclists riding at night without a light: Do you have a death wish?

I completely agree, but it's not just cyclists. Since it's been dark when I leave for work in the morning, I've been astonished by the number of people who don't turn their car lights on when driving in the pitch dark. They may have daytime running lights, but that does nothing for visibility from behind. This is also a major problem in times of poor visibility with pouring rain or fog. I'm frankly flabbergasted that cars aren't required to automatically have the full lighting system on anytime they're in gear.
