How to play

A night-driving game. When a player spots a car with exactly one burnt-out headlight, they call "Padiddle!" for 1 point. A single broken tail light ("little dip") is worth 3. Incorrect calls lose 5.

Notable variants

Some groups require hitting the car ceiling; some play first-to-3-padiddles-makes-a-wish; a racier college variant loses the last-to-tap-ceiling an article of clothing.
