[QUOTE="Floppy, post: 114970, member: 3024"] I can attest to the safety aspect on DRL's on the highways here in Canada where they are manditory on all road vehicles. We live at the north end of Highway 63 in Alberta, #5 on the deadly list for Canadian highways. There are alot of "impatient" drivers on this highway that like to think that the speed limit is 150km/h, the double solid line is merely a suggestion not to pass someone, and that they are the greatest drivers ever to roll on the earth. DRL have saved my life when there is only a split second to realize that car infront of you is suddenly in the wrong lane on a blind corner. There are a few people that shut them off by locking the emergency brake on at the first notch, but it just seems trivial. The DRLs on most domestic cars now draw 50-70% of the power of the lamp, just enough to make it glow. Thats the problem I have with them as this discolors and shortens the lifespan of the bulbs.
