There is no proof that DRL's reduce any accidents and they're more annoying than anything. You can go ahead and dazzle people with high beams on all the time which is pointless. It adds costs of having to replace the bulbs constantly because they're on all the time not to mention irritate motorists on the road who have to look at them up close at intersections. The whole reasons DRL's came into creation was because Greyhound Bus claimed that slowing down to 55mph in the 80's and running with regular low beam headlights on reduced their accidents and therefore GM jumped on the Band Wagon and Canada just thought well its a smart idea with no actual reasearch to back up the claim. Therefore if you are not required to have DRL's don't use them folks, it costs more to run them with no actual benefits.
