Re: Daytime Running Lights - DRL's


I think the DRLs are a great way for drivers to see our front mounted
number plates ;-)

Really, DRLs have pros and cons. I think the problem is that they
will both cause and reduce accidents. But who is in a position to
speculate which out weighs the other?

I guess there will be no end to our government throwing half baked
ideas out there just so they can say "they are doing something about
it".
