“Daytime running lights are stupid”
What I find to be STUPID, plus quite ANNOYING is these morons that INSIST on driving around DAY or NIGHT with their fog/driving lights on!
For Pete’s sakes, people!
Unless the weather conditions call for it, turn the flaming things OFF!
These lights came with my truck when I bought it new 2 years ago and still have had no need to turn them on.
Problem is that no one has fog lights anymore. Fogs are an amber or yellowish color to break through the haze of fog without glaring back at you. Today’s additional lights are actually driving lights, even though they are called fog lights. So, it is actually okay to drive with them. However, real driving lights work in conjunction with your high beams and only your high beams for added lighting on dark roads. As soon as you flip your highs off they turn off, same way fogs work with your lows etc....
I only know this because I’ve installed both types of lights and had to make sure I was road legal so I did lots of research into the subject. But you are right that there are many idiots who drive with them on the sunniest of days.
