To DRL or not DRL that is the question:
NOTE: I favor DRL, I was a police dispatcher for 25 years.
Some folks like to say "More recent studies have failed to confirm" but there is a flaw in this. Studies made back when Some cars had DRL and some did not showed those without were more likely to be involved in accidents.
Canada responded by passing a law, DRLs mandatory Chevy (All GM cars) then responded by building them all with DRL. Ford made one car for Canada one for US (one of the reasons I'm anti-Ford).
THe flaw is that now all cars in Canada have DRL's so "No DRL" cars are not much involved in accidents (Being vintage cars over something like 30 years old)
Personal observation.. I have been sitting on Clarita waiting to pull out on Telegraph as I did nearly every working day for 25 years, and seen a car with DRL's before I saw the non DRL car IN FRONT OF IT.. Let that scare you,
