    Generally I'm against DRLs. I find them too tacky.

    Of course, there are some well-executed exceptions.

    The thing is - who needs dedicated daytime running lights when your headlights can do the same thing?

    I spent the better part of a week in Poland in May 2011. When we crossed the border from the Slovak Republic, one prominent sign I saw from my seat on the bus was that all vehicles' headlights must be on 24/7 as long as they are being driven. During that week shuttling between Warsaw, Krakow, Wadowice and Czestochowa, not one car was on the roads with its headlights off - and before you mention the weather, the whole time it was a balmy 24-28 deg C and sunny for the most part.

    I brought the principle back with me as I drove again on Manila streets. My logic is, with all my lights running in the daytime, there will be less of an excuse for other motorists to crash into my car.

    My two cents.
