Now you have touched on something that really irritates me.

I have lost track of the number of drivers who are driving in poor visibility with no rear lights, but the front DRL;s on

typo correct, thousands of pounds of private education, universities and training ruined by the fact I just don't care on a forum

I don't read newspapers - never believe politicians and have no EU opinion other than they seem obsessed with controlling people needlessly.

What I do know, is for its many faults - Great Britain is one of the best countries in the world. But I would still emigrate to one of our old colonies who seem to not have lost there way.

Back to DRL's Mike

I actually think lights on during the day are a good thing and always used them when I had motorbikes - just to stay alive

Despite driving big LR's for years and a Landcruiser I have been bumped by motorists who claimed they did not see me - how big do you need to be to be seen for sake

I also regularly see idiots particularly where there are street lights who forget to turn lights on at night - so auto lights get my vote too

I would also like to add having visited Switzerland it is on my list of best places to visit in Europe - friendliest most helpful people I have met anywhere - including uk  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

People still have accidents with DRLs and still say they didn't see the person

When everyone has there lights on, then it will just be a sea of lights

I have actually been to Switzerland, never driven there though Mike
