Lights on during daylight hours. Most all of our driving is done on rural roads. Tree lined roads means that vehicles transition often from sunlight to shade. With logging trucks, semi trucks carrying mill chips, and wide and slow moving farm equipment on the roads having my lights on seems prudent. Silent | |||

My 2019 Acura MDX keeps them on when I drive, and I can't turn them off. And yes, it's the first thing I tried when I bought the car. Phone's ringing, Dude. | |||

Still going, huh. My new truck has the new style DRLs that wrap around the headlights and grill. My old truck, 2013, didn’t have that. I used to run down the road with park lights on all the time. The truck was black, and we live out of town off two-lane. Just seemed like a good idea; somebody is going to pass another vehicle, and I think the lights help see the truck earlier, and better judge distance for that guy oncoming in my lane. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Two quick examples... rainy days, poor visibility. Say you're trying to pull out onto a highway. You can see all the cars with their lights on, but that makes it that much harder or impossible to see the ones that don't have lights. Another way that I see A LOT around here, people driving at night with their lights off. They must get in and start off and the DRL's are just enough for them to see. Either because they're bright enough or they started from somewhere with street lights. They don't think about the fact that they have no lights on (no tail lights), they're driving blacked out from the rear and people nearly run into the back of them. | |||

I drive my work car for just less than 8 hours. When I go in at 0630hrs, my lights have to be on. I typically forget about them and when I go home a little after 2 and turn the car off for the first time it reminds me that my headlights are on. I just forget. | |||

DRL's always on, headlights on auto...pretty much a no brainer. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

Our "grant happy" state police have managed to get nearly every highway in our state turned into "safety zones"....which required headlights to be on. Of course it's selectively enforced...but I don't need to give extra reasons to pull me over when I'm likely already speeding a bit anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."
