Re: Daytime Running Lights
With the creation of twinned highways, DRLs are kind of pointless as there s no longer any incoming traffic that needs to see you.
I still turn on my headlights when I'm on a highway with two-way traffic so passing vehicles can better guage how far away I am, but other than that in daylight I don't need them.
The added benefit of romoving my DRLs is that with liquid grey, my car becomes invisible at dusk, so if I'm driving out to the lake after dinner and it's just starting to get dark, I am running invisible to the cars on the other side of the median on the twin highway headed out there. I can guarantee I've avoided being seen by police a few times during the tax collection period of the month where we are pulled over for doing 115 in a 110 zone.
The other added bonus with DRLs is that all police cruisers up here have them as well, so a late night speed trap in the dead of winter (Police keep thier cruisers running in -20C to -50C) is very easy to spot by the dim headlights sitting in the median between the highway lanes.
