Most Europeans drive in the city with their headlights off, and the other
lights on. They call them running lights, not parking lights. They use the
headlights instead of a horn; a car will flash at you instead of honk at you
(usually).

Outside of cities, everybody uses headlights, but because of the custom of
driving in cities without them, people often forget, and have very strange
ideas of when it is dark enough to need headlights.
