I see nothing wrong with having lights on when it is cloudy or the
visibility is otherwise poor. The CVC states that headlights must be
used during the time of 30min after sunset until 30min before sunrise,
or when visibility falls below 1000 feet.

I do agree, however, about wipers that are running at full speed,
sometimes even when the rain has stopped. These people are obviously
oblivious to what is happening, and don't belong on the road (just like
left lane squatters).
