Ahahahaha!! This is a story for a different koan (or two)! I have to say, I'm quite guilty of this myself. I think I've forgotten about my headlights 2 to 3 times now. Thankfully, my car has auto headlights for that last time. But, for the first time, I think I drove more than 8 km in the highway and main business district haha! I do believe that lapse shouldn't affect of how we assess ourselves as drivers. I'm a good driver as well. How we assess ourselves as great observers is a different issue however.

Thanks for sharing that tale nonetheless, my friend! I'm so happy that people can be candid about this stuff here :)
