It's the LAW, people!

Today was a rainy, cold, dark day. On my trip from my office in Chapel Hill to the Surgery Center in Durham, I saw 8 (EIGHT) cars without their lights on. On the way home, I saw an additional 3, one of which was a Town of Chapel Hill vehicle.
According to North Carolina State Law, and the law of many (if not all) other states, if you have your windshield wipers on, you MUST HAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON. Get with it people!

You only have to have them on if your wipers are on more than intermittent. You sure their wipers were going full bore?

Not so according to the NCDOT website:
http://www.ncdot.org/travel/roadrules/
Doesn't mention anything about intermittent...
What is your source?
Also listed as required in the Rules of the Road Handbook.
