Conditioning can only happen if the subject is aware of the condition. By far the most drivers, especially the bad ones, are not even aware of DRLs, much less influenced by a fact they don't even think about. They get in their car and drive. If it gets too dark to see they turn on the light. Has been like that forever. The good ones turn on the light when they deem it necessary, DRLs or no DRLs.
The dangers of DRLs 4601Documented observations indicate that DRLs exsaserbate the problem. DRL equipped cars are more likely to be driven without the lights in comparison to cars without DRLs. That is not disputed among the people...
Again, only works if the subject is aware, which by far most drivers arent. Ask the average driver whether his car has DRLs. You will find most don't know.
Wow, backslapping :)
Again your mysterious statements. Either quote them or don't try to FUD your readers with them.
From my experience: No. If you disagree on the base of NHTSA findings, post the numbers. Should be easy to do if it's really on file.
I disagree, because I don't see your alleged 'facts' on the street and you are unable to provide evidence.
Maybe your '95 Cavalier is defective. My automatic lights work remarkably well, i.e. even switch on when dark rainclouds or fog diminishes light intensity.
The dangers of DRLs 4603As stated many times in this thread (and you've responded, so I know you've read it), it is documented at the NHTSA. The NHTSA has been studying...
You claim a difference, but are unable to provide evidence.
The discussion thread was about the mysterious dangers of DRLs. And still is.
Maybe you are in danial about red-iculous statements...
His point was making a fool of himself. He has a lot to contribute and ruins it totally because he is unable to control himself. What a pity.
