    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..

    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 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.

daytime running lights (DRL)
