Times and places for anything - I drove in Italy and Germany for a few years and Italy really required one to be alert - they use their headlights to ‘claim” a lane, wasn’t odd for someone to straddle a center-line and start flashing his lights to get both directions to move over and give him pass-age...in the early morning, before the sun came up, one had to be alert for low lights of a lantern hanging off the axle of a horse-drawn wagon, even on the autostrada, as a farmer made his way to the fields...alertness and situational awareness are key.
HaHa! Over here, you’ll be lucky to have an oncoming vehicle (let alone-horse cart) using lights of any kind in the pre-dawn and post-dusk hours.
Fortunately for the eagle-eyed, there is a lot of external chrome & shiny stainless steel that give a hint via my lights’ reflection
The other amusing aspect is the multitude of signs:
