Exactly right! But the snow storms and rain do happen, don't they?
Seeing cars in broad daylight is not why these things exist. I'll look
at the things all day if it means that everyone, even the UNintelligent
ones, will have their lights on when it counts.
BTW, I've been in snow storms in broad daylight. Drive around on a
cold, sunny and very windy Wisconsin day just after a snow storm. You
drive through miniature snow storms created by snow blowing and drifting
off the empty corn fields. These can reach white-out conditions for
many hundreds of yards at a time. Here is a case where having your
lights on during a sunny day makes sense.
