Ed-
As a one time avid motorcyclist (three years on only two wheels), I have
to disagree. The time you need to be noticed is not when there is other
traffic around (non- looking lane changers are relatively easy to avoid),
but when you are the only one around. The biggest scares I ever got were
from the ubiquitous left turning cars in front of me. Generally this
happened when there weren't cars around. Did I run my high beams during
the day? You betcha! I never did understand how people could miss that
100 watt high :^) I'd hate to see what would happen on a bike with no
lights!
Do I like DRL's? Nope, but considering how much attention most people pay
while they are driving, they need all the help they can get. I call it
"lowest common denominator" factor.
