I wish they'd go off automatically when the ignition is switched on.

You say some things I don't like, but then you also say a few things that I like A LOT.

Please tell me what you didn't like. I generally think a lot of your comments.

Some of them do look a bit dorky, conversely you are less likely to accidentally pull out in front of a car using them. Anything that reduces your chance of being collected by some plonker has to be a good thing.

They make cars look like mobile French tarts. What on earth were they thinking!- Audi, be ashamed of your tarty bling.

Why is it that "the plonker" is always driving the OTHER car!

I think daytime running lights are a great idea and support anything that increases the chance of the vehicle being seen.

Has anyone had the experience of a charcoal coloured car coming out of the shadows on a sunny day, once nearly got t-boned by a Golf, when I was reversing out onto the road, didn't see him untill he was nearly on top of me, give me day time running lights any day!

yes i agree but it still puzzles me that the people who can nt see my truck from 5 metres away are the same people that have daytime lights fitted so others see them

They have to go off when headlights come on. Had to change mine for WOF
Yep, been there done that, we were that close.well, he could've given me his T-shirt.
I am absolutely appalled at the number of cars, especially "road colour" vehicles that don't turn their lights on.
Here it's just 2 or 3 with no lights, yet when i drove around aussie, i counted a 10 to 1 ratio, 530pm at night, it's getting dark, (dark like you'd have trouble reading a road-map) yet for every vehicle i saw with their lights on, i counted another 10 with them off.
We could have a national billboard campaign to "Turn your lights on", yet there will always be people who just in such a hurry, they forget to turn them on. It should be so when you start your car, they come on and if you forget to switch to "Dip" at least someone coming the other way can see you.
How many of you here, have spotted a vehicle, black, charcoal etc with no lights on, ok, you've just got past them and in your rear-view mirror 5 cars back, someone attempts to over-take.
If i go to court after the Head-On and a few Dead People, and a Defence Lawyer for the accused asks me: "Did the vehicle in question have his lights on!", "No, Sir". "No park lights either!" "No". "So my client went past you with no lights on at all". "That is correct, Sir". "So in your rear-view mirror, there were no tail-lights going!" "None at all, Sir". "So what was the last thing you saw in your rear-view mirror as my client drove away from you!" "His brake lights, Sir".
