So the DOT did a study https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/811029 and found no significant difference when using daytime running lights except in light trucks and vans. We have an energy issue in this world so why are we doing this? Will people learn when they have to replace a headlight which is no longer just a few bucks?
I also find that most drivers, in addition to not being able to parallel park or backup without some aid, have lost track of what bright lights are for. In my area, every SUV (and there are ton of them, this is Fidelity country= I wanna be seen in my Range Rover/Porsche/Alpha SUV) has fog lights on despite no fog. 50% of people drive at night with brights on in well-lit streets which to me, increases the chance of collision. Was PT Barnum correct "no one ever went broke overestimating the intelligence of the American people."
