I was wondering what you guys think about DRL. It seems I pretty frequently see someone driving at night without their lights on. Almost without fail, their headlights are somewhat dimly on though, leading me to DRL.

With the headlights being on, and many cars having electronic dashes that are backlit regardless of headlight setting, many people may assume they have automatic lights, when in fact, they have daytime running lights. The whole thing seems pretty unsafe to me, and rather pointless. I can see you during the day without your headlights, but it's hard to see you at night without your taillights.
