I’m aware other countries have rear DRLs cause some of my friends went out of their way to buy the parts for their cars cause they like the look. Sadly in the US…no such requirement. I see at least one car an evening running nothing but DRLs. I blame the invention of the LCD dash. They’re handy but one of my cars is old and doesn’t have one. You know what I see at night with the lights off…nothing. The entire dash is pitch black. Kind of a big hint your lights are off.
Lol, what a journey!
It’s not the fact that you can’t see the road that tells you your lights are off, it’s the dashboard.
But that is def how people’s brainholes work actually.
Also, there are cars that don’t have automatic headlights and have an (I assume on of those fully) LCD dashboards?
Around my parts the former predates the latter (in high end cars, like the S-class not by a whole bunch, but still, and there are those 70s cars with monochromatic LCDs, but still). Or is it a regional thing (eg how USA didn’t allow for anything automatic in headlights until very recently & expensive European cars in USA movies always had some cheap projector headlights)?
