This is why it is a good reason to always drive with your headlights on.

headlights on won't help you not get rear-ended. or t-boned.

Disagree. With your headlights on, all your parking lights will be on also, which will make you more visible to other drivers from all angles. It can't hurt.

Oh I was thinking about daytime running lamps. DRL are only on in the front.

Let's keep on topic folks. There is/was already a thread on keeping your lights on to be visible during the daytime.

The brakes on the Fiesta are great. I believe C/D got 60-0 in 121ft? That's pretty much sports car level. I think the CTS-V with the BBK does 60-0 in 110ft.

All that aside, I wouldn't mind adding some braided stainless steel brake lines to improve feel.

Car and Driver does 70-0 mph braking tests. Fiesta did it in 170 ft.
Motor Trend listed the Fiesta 60-0 mph in 116-121 ft.
Anyhow the brakes are excellent. I haven't faded them yet...
