The daytime lights aren’t for you to see the road, they’re for other people to see you.
I’m fully in support of DRL. People are too irresponsible to even turn their headlights on during rain, dusk, fog and other hazardous condition (even in the middle of the night – I see it all the time). The auto DRL are the only way to keep these people from smashing into someone.
And on a somewhat related topic, why doesn’t the police department ever ticket people for burned out brake lights? I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t see someone whose brake lights are burned out. Often all three lights! Insane.
