What about a snow bank in a snowstorm? Or how about a dull gray concrete
wall or guardrail in a rainstorm or heavy fog? There are plenty of other
hazards which don't have headlights to turn on. If you wouldn't see the
white car in the snowstorm in time to stop, you wouldn't be able to stop for
the snow bank either.
The point is that you shouldn't be depending on someone else's lights to be
able to avoid an accident, because that won't be any help in the event the
obstacle is not a car.
