I thought this was something people did out of politeness, but I was corrected. Instead I was told that early Korean cars lacked alternators, so you had to turn off the lights whenever the car was idling.

This never made any sense to me. If there's no alternator, the battery is going to die no matter how fast you rev the engine. What's the real story?
