Yes, he stated it backwards.
The brake light system works properly 99.9% of the time. Hardly a comparable example to a inferior design that works properly under only one of many "conditions".
It's more than a philosophy...it's a known documented form of "conditioning" in training circles. Having such system WILL in fact "condition" people to stop thinking about something. In this case it is something that drivers should NEVER be conditioned to stop thinking about. Rare exceptions exist.
Exactly! And, so far, no one has yet been able to design such a fullproof auto light control system that can account for all the variables. An example would be Maryland 's law (section TR 22-201.1) when states that lights (all lights, not just DRLs) are required when "sight distance is below 1000 feet"...). There isn't a "auto" light control system made that can make that determination.
the lights be turned on.
Correct.
The dangers of DRLs 46561. One can't see the radio-odo-trip computer-compbutt displays, etc. etc. when those displays dim for that 1-2 minutes as the auto system...
pee poor too.
I prefer not to have my lights pop on for a couple of minutes just because I want to use the windshield washers, thank you.
I agree!!! Until a better system comes along (one that actually works), I don't want it. What is available now is virtually useless (in my opinion...and I used to own one of those GM cars with the "sucky" auto light controls...annoying as hell!).
