IMO Daytime Running Lights should be scrapped. Because most people on the road are morons and they think their headlights are on at night, so they dont turn them on. And then I come up at 70 mph on the expressway and almost run into them because they are doing 40 mph and have no lights on.
Our van has DRLs and my mom was driving it once as it turned dark outside and she thought the other lights would automatically turn on by themselves.


I agree that DRLs are worthless and annoying. Not to mention it slightly decreases fuel economy and reduces the bulb's life.
 
My dad uses the parking lights with the DRLs when driving the van because he says they're brighter than the low beams on his '81 Escort.
I used to drive around the same way until I figured out that if I have the regular headlights on, there's more light entering my eyes which makes on coming headlights less bright and gives me less of a eye-ache.
