For a feature that was supposed to enhance road safety, DRL sure created a serious hazard. Since they come on with the engine, many drivers take off at night not realizing they did not turn the light switch on to have full lighting power in the front, and more importantly, any kind of tail lights. Or they keep driving past twilight thinking the lights are on all around -- same result. DAshlight should be a clue but seemingly that's not enough. Cars built since ca. 2010 have a daylight sensor that eliminates this problem, but there are still many older cars, and distracted drivers, on the roads.
I would rather a car driving around with no tail lights than no lights at all. I am a lot more worried about seeing people coming at me than going away. Plus, their tail lights are also reflectors and will reflect my lights back to me.
I am really enjoying my new truck that has DRLs, auto lights and auto dimming. I never have to touch the lights anymore and they are LED so I never should have to do any maintenance. Just one less thing that I have to worry about so that I can focus on driving and keep my hands on the wheel. As cheap as the sensors are that should be included on all new vehicles.
