daytime running lights (DRL)

[pia_nini]

thumbs up to my fellow drivers w/ open foglights or low bright headlights
during daytime,,whatever weather condition,,public road of edsa,c5, public eskinitas, (except subdvsion, ok lang kahit nka off na) etc...
i know rider din kayo...kahit konti lang tayo na nagddrive with DRL.,
naging aware lang ako sa DRL nung maging rider ako..

sa mga riders naman na ino-off yung headlights sa public roads,,
most new motorcycles today walang switch yung headlights,
yung iba pinapalagyan,,they didnt know the importance of DRL..
most new luxury cars din po pala may DRL na..

wala pa yatang thread about DRL so i create this one..
yung kapitbahay kasi namin tinatanong ako kung bakit ko ino- on headlight ng auto at motor ko kahit umaga,,and the rest is history

pati yung mrt nka DRL din

i don't see people turning their lights on (kahit parking lights) pag maliwanag pa.. siguro kung meron man.. eh napaka konti.. wala pa sigurong 1%

i'm not saying we shouldnt.. i'm just saying it's not normal here on our roads to have your lights on pag maliwanag pa..

yung iba nga pumapasok na sa parking building.. wala pa ring ilaw..

para mas visible....I think sa Canada required na ito by law...hinde lang ako sure sa US, but when I was there I've seen cars sa freeway na meron mga DRL, in fact my cousin's car that he lend me is meron ng DRL...

tingin ko dapat dito sa atin magkaroon na rin ng ganyan law, siguro umpisahan sa mga motorcycles

pansinin mo yun mga imported na mga SUVs meron sila, suburban, escalade, sequiao etc

it's bec wala pa tayong law for that, hinde pa required, yun mga gumagawa is yun sino lang may gusto....

I give extra room to riders who turn on their lights in the morning

Some US states require DRLs sa motorcycles. Yung isang friend ko dun hinuli ng pulis palabas pa lang sya ng garahe dahil napundi headlight nya di nya napansin.

and if a car have that feature there is no switch to turn it off or on, habang buhay naka on na talaga yan...., unless buksan mo na yun normal headlight mo...

[_Qwerty_]

dito lang sa mga tunnels sa atin.. yung tunnel sa Pioneer.. at yung tunnel sa Edsa-Ayala.. ang dami don.. ni hindi man lang nagbubukas nang ilaw..

dagdag pa yung mga jeep na kahit gabi na eh wala pa ring headlights.. tapos yung mga sasakyan na bumabyahe na walang break lights.. nasa EDSA / SLEX / NLEX pa man din.. wala kasing nanghuhuli eh..

masyado nakasing stip down sa features mga cars dito dapat ilagay yun feature sa mga cars dito sa atin na basta dumilim automatic mag on yun headlight, or at least sa option

Sa mga MC palagay ko kailangan for their own safety lalo’t karamihan sa kanila eh parang ahas kung sumulpot, kaliwa’t kanan kaya kahit katanghalian magugulat ka na lang

I usually have my park lights on when I'm driving especially when it rains. .

[alwayz_yummy]

ako, i would like to add those LED-type aux lamp para pansinin nga ng other drivers..but nakakainis lang yung mga nagtitinda--they keep on signaling you na buhay ilaw mo--di nga naman nila alam purpose nun..

maslalo sa motrocycles, kailangan to...

i think the unwritten rule is if you need to use your wipers, you're supposed to turn on your parking lights too. the logic behind that is added visibility in hazy and wet weather

in new motorcycles, even those in underbones, i've been told that DRLs are now standard equiptment. the problem is a lot of moto riders install a cut-off switch not knowing any better. it's too bad they just realize its import when they're already kissing the pavement after an avoidable accident

I turn on my headlights (low beam) kahit daytime everytime I do a long drive to the provice.

I notice pedestrians or on-coming traffic react faster to the light compared to blowing the horn. Kahit malayo palang napapansin na nila yung kotse na nakabukas yung headlight giving them more time to react.

1990's pa when i started riding motorbikes, gumagamit nako DRL klasi napapanood ko sa TV na ganyan sa U.S. and Europe. para nga sa safety ng riders to be visible to cagers and pedestrians. napansin ko din, big U.S. cars, SUVs, pick ups, have mandatory daytime running lights.

nakaka tawa nga lang talaga kasi marami na signal na: "pare bukas ilaw mo" with their hands doing "close-open" pero ngayon medyo alam na ng marami and practiced widely sa mga riders.

ang problema lang sa sasakyan na di equipped ng DRL ay umiilaw din yung tail lights pag inilagay mo sa low beam or park lights. di katulad sa vehicles na equipped with DRL pag shift mo sa drive iilaw na pero patay ang mga tail lights.

Your right........
Everytime & used my car the DRL is always on.........even at 12noon, nakasanayan kona..........Akala ko, ako lang ang gumagamit nito sa Pinas, even the Military vehicles they used their HL on when they travelled across the province.

kahit maliwanag na?? bakit nga po ba ni on nyo??

I know a guy who always drives with DRL. Naka-specify kasi sa insurance policy nya, they give slightly lower premiums if you agree to always drive with DRL.
