This is the biggest BS ever.

In Scandinavia it works, yes.
But in Austria they've tried it and the number of accidents increased dramatically!
Austria then decided to return and NOT have a law for DRL, now the accident rate is back to normal.


WTF are they thinking in the EUC?

How can this increase number of accidents? Is it caused by those who forget to switch on or those with lights on?

It is obligatory in Czech Republic. I believe it made roads safer, persuade me it didn't?!

I dunno.

It was a big surprise to hear those news from Austria.
But those are facts and they have done research on it.

I think the only time it helps is when it rains, and the weather turns...My thought - link lights with wipers, so they go on when wipers are on. Brilliant. I know.
