I hate people that leave them on and blind everybody. I wish all DRLs came with auto headlights. I don't know how many people I encounter at night that only have their DRLs on, and not their headlights/tail-lights... As far as GM auto-headlights being overly sensitive... You can adjust the sensitivity. At least that's what I did on mine... It's programmable. |

This might be a duplicate as the other message seemed to disappear. I am looking for the legal definition of DTRLs in Ontario. One MTO person told me that both front and rear lights must come on during day. the other MTO person reading the Highway traffic act said only the front must come on. Does anyone know the correct answer. thanks el

As to DRLs I personally don't like the car to do my thinking for me. But you have a point, some drivers aren't smart enough to turn their lights on even when it's dark, so maybe they are necessary. One thing I've noticed is that when, for instance it's raining and 99% of the cars have their lights on, the 1% who don't are almost invisible. If you made DRLs mandatory on all new vehicles you would still have a lot of invisible cars out there causing accidents for years. I wonder how did this work out in Canada the first few years after the mandate? |
