One of my pet hates at the moment are the idiots who drive in poor visibility on DRLs, not knowing or caring that they only show at the front. Almost as bad as driving with no lights, certainly from behind.
I agree. Just as bad are DRLs only in 'normal' darkness. Apart from the general lack of rear lights, the DRLs dazzle.
My Suzuki S-Cross SZ5 has a great arrangement. The DRLs are the front sidelights and go off with the head lights but if you select side lights only, they stay on and the rear lights come on too - this gives you all the options so in Daylight (the D in DRL) and normal visibility I can use front DRLs with rear lights. As this is obviously legal, I've rewired the DRLs on the MGF to give me the same option. I live in an area with a lot of trees and it can be pretty dark under them. I think DRLs are a really good thing used sensibly and combined with rear lights in normal daylight is a good option. Not in fog though!
