disable DRL
#16
I've yet to find an article or study that conclusively showed DRL reduce the number of accidents in daytime driving. Contrary to that, DRL are a distraction on the road in some studies.

DRL might reduce accidents if the vehicle does not auto-on headlights. Meaning when the weather is bad during daytime, DRL helps when the headlights don't automatically turn on and the driver forgot to do so. A lot of new vehicles now have auto-on headlights so I don't see any benefit of having DRL but rather, a distraction.

Why is it car manufacturer spend loads of money developing safety features for cars, and then owner's right away want to try to defeat the feature. You are not only putting yourself at risk, but other driver's on the road. This also pertains to the lowering/lifting of vehicles and putting on tires/rims that the car was not designed to be driven on. If you did not like the vehicle the way it was designed, then buy some other vehicle that meets your specs. I have been reading these forums for years and it really boggles the mind why these things are being done. Leave the safety features alone!
Agreed 100 %, but. in this country, we have freedom, choice, ability to do what we want. Or at least that is what it was supposed to be, on paper that is. So what people do with their cars is non of my business.
I too dont get people slamming their cars to the ground with big wheels and all. Yes it looks awesome to people outside, but how does it feel to be behind the wheel I will never find out. But like I said, life is all about choices. Whatever makes you happy. DRL I think is an extra safety feature. I like it. I also like seatbelts, air bags and ABS breaks. Even traction control is nice, sometimes

How can people hate DLR lights, how can they see them in traffic if they are behind the wheellol
I agree that the yellowish made them look like from a 90's car but still I never see them but help people see me so I have no problem with them.

It's an image thing. People like to look cooler. As you get older you get wiser. Function over fashion.
It's the same reason why people lease expensive cars instead of saving or buying a house or investing.
In order to be successful, one must have an image of success at all times. Unfortunately some people take that saying a bit too far.
