daytime running lights (DRL)

[alwayz_yummy]

I know a guy who always drives with DRL. [SIZE=3]Naka-specify kasi sa insurance policy nya, they give slightly lower premiums if you agree to always drive with DRL.[/SIZE]

makes me wonder how they will monitor this???

[rion]

so far, people only do DRL on rainy days.

Problem with DRL's that are standard on some cars is the driver's instruments are always lighted regardless of headlamp function, and so when it gets dark he'll think they're still on when they're not. I've been seeing increased non usage of the headlights at night on cars that usually have DRL's as standard.

DRL's are both good and bad, they're good for safety but when you take them for granted you'll assume the headlights are also on at night. Some features and controls are actually different so in reality you're being a danger by having NO lights at night.

bihira dito sa pinas.

even i admit hindi ko ginagawa ito pag maliwanag. i only turn on my park lights during the day when it's (already) dark enough for me not to see my guages. kaya sa mga tunnels, parking and kapag makulimlim, umuulan dun lang ako nakaparklights. pag nasa highway din i turn on my park lights.

[_Qwerty_]

nangyayari naman sa akin.. kahit umaga at maliwanag.. tapos lumabas ako nang basement parking eh nakakalimutan ko nang i off yung parking lights ko..

pwede bang gawin DRL yung lo beam ng headlights nyo?

i read in C/D that most americans actually hates DRL. for MCs that might be a wise feature. But because in some models, the DRLs are activated with the instrument cluster come night time, owners usually forget turning on the taillights. a lot of them had a rear accident something something getting hit because their butts are not well lit. heheheh

most of the new cars now comes with an optitron gauges, my other car has this type of gauge, so the instrumental panel are always lit..sooner or later people will get used to this kind of gauges....
