Some people think that being safe is dumb.

However true this may be, I just don't think it overrides the fact that the DRLs are there to keep you alive. I want HIDs for my car, but I wouldn't remove a safety measure to get them.

I read an article on the web that the research has shown no significant data to back up that DRL are actually a good safety device. That is why they are not mandated on all cars and will probably not be in the US.

Well, you can say that, but I know I see cars a lot better when their lights are on, day or night. *shrug*
