It was as if I was invisible, she was looking straight ahead with blinkers on, so as the traffic was at a standstill, I actually got out of the car and rapped on the window of her car.
She looked at me miming winding the window down in what can be described as utter confusion, so I shouted loudly through the closed window at her that she was driving without her lights on.
Not a glimmer of anything resembling common sense, and off she drove still with no lights on, you couldn't make it up 
My wife was sitting in the passenger seat, and couldn't believe the complete stupidity of it all, so that's my rant, DRL's and instrument packs that illuminate even with the lights turned off.

Almost identical situation I had a few weeks back. After filling the van with diesel at Sainsbury's I followed a couple in a Golf onto the exit roundabout inside Sainsbury's car park. There were no rear lights on it but a couple of brightly showing LEDS at the front. As we sat side by side at the traffic lights waiting to exit onto the main road I thought I would let them know. I wound my window down, gave a friendy wave and tooted the horn. No response. I tried again with the horn and when they looked I motioned to wind the window down, nothing other than the bloke looking p***ed off and shaking his head "no".
I was loosing patience so I then shouted with a hint of annoyance "You haven't put your lights on", slowly the penny dropped and then a faint wave of acknowledgement and he switched them on.
I thought his Mrs might wind the window down and thank me, pigs might!
I wish I hadn't bothered, let them get pulled in next time if that's their attitude.
