ANYTHING that makes you more visible is a good idea, for safety. Rethink your statement, lest you be considered stupid yourself-!

After reading about findings of experiments in WWII of using forward shining bright lights on airplanes during the daytime to camouflage the planes approach during daylight raids, I've often wondered about the true effectiveness of daytime headlights on bright sunny days. The experiments IIC were quite successful but abandoned because of the energy strain on the planes.

Anything that blinds other drivers coming at you is a bad thing.

Anyone who needs a 3,000+ pound object to turn on its headlights in bright sunshine in order to see it really needs to turn their license in immediately.

What next, mandate all cars come only in bright yellow?
