Saw 2 cars with their lights on today at 1pm...

It is, 3 points a light IIRC.

Also there's a petition running to have people who use them during wet weather to be taken outside and shot in front of their families.

People who install HID's into their fogs will be destroyed by a surface to air missiles.

I approve of this message.
 
Sometimes they can be quite bright and glaring coming towards you though. I know that small little Citreon thing (forget the name, but quite a sporty little hatch) they are like a vertical line and they seem very bright.
 
Day runners are fine, what really annoys me is people driving with their lights on during the day, obviously if the weather calls for it then its not a probelm, but you don't need anything more than your side lights on when it's sunny, so why the hell do people feel the need to drive with their fog lights or even worse main beams, at 1pm!? when it's bright sunshine outside.

Annoying!
 
I usually put my lights on during the day, no real reason for it, just habit I got into over the winter that I haven't stopped.

(Plus cars with lights on look better innit)

I've started doing this - just become such a habit that I do it all the time now. Plus my dash looks cool when it's blue instead of white :p

I concur with this. I don't mind sidelights on during the day at all, they're not enough of a distraction and perhaps in some circumstances do give you better visibility. I know that if I was on a bike I'd have some sort of light on all the time.

As it stands right now I'm trying to avoid turning only my sidelights on, one of the bulbs needs changed and it's a bit of a pain to do it. Service is due in April so I'll have them do it for me. :D
 
Don't really understand all the fuss about DRLs and forcing new vehicles to have them installed. Why not just hardwire the sidelights to be on all the time, then encourage drivers of older vehicles to turn them on whenever they are driving?

I tend to have my sidelights on constantly now, although this is mainly the consequence of moving into a flat where the car is parked downstairs in a communal garage...I put the lights on as I get in so I can see the instruments.

This is what the cheap cars do generally, its only the more expensive cars that have these led strips it seems.
 
If you can't see a car in daylight with or without lights showing, you should not be driving.

Stupid waste of effort and energy, that 0.0001mpg may come in useful after 10000 miles /jk.

Another little electrical thing to test or go wrong methinks. No doubt insurance companies will soon start saying did you have lights on prior to your accident?

Insert llo into box.
