DRL is an ok idea, too bad it doesn't make the tail light to come on as well...
ask yourself, how often u see those idiot driving around with only their DRL on? i swear i see that almost every other nite...car manufacturer makes the day time bright to a point driver will forget to turn on their headlight for nite time...yes ppl can see u coming from behind, or in opposite direction...what about those from the back? i was driving on Royal Oak last nite and saw a white gal with a new yaris, driving in the fog with only DRL on...i am so pissed why there were two cops passing by in opposite direction and no one would pull her over...then another night it was a RX350 in RMD...just this week!
disable DRL is not that much of a bad thing, just be a smart driver is more important (i have seen so many driver with 07 / 08 cars driving with only DRL at nite, i dun see how that is going to be much better than no lights ~ cuz usually when u have no lights at all, u should be smart enough to turn it on: ie those who still dunno why there is headlight for the car while it's DARK, they SHOULDN'T be driving)...
so i won't blame on ppl disabling their DRL, but i will blame on those idiot who shouldn't be driving around while they dunno how they should operate such a simple function on their car! I would say 1/2 hour after sunrise and 1/2 hour before sunset is the grey period driver might be forgiven, driving before sunrise / sunset (i think there is an "official" time listed somewhere?) is just completely idiot and ignoring other's safety, cuz there is a reason why a car needs headlight and tail light...DRL is just like ABS, a little thing that they can do to make the car more suitable for THOSE idiots nowadays...yet 道高一尺, 魔高一丈; ppl can simply think headlight is already ON!
oh wellz...enough ranting...haha
a better story was another time driving down new west downtown a yaris was doing the same thing, a cop pulled him over and i do hope he gets a ticket... |
