You haven't read very much (if anything) on the subject. Years of testing were done in may countries, before DRLs were developed. -- Brian Ever stop to think... and forget to start again? |

If you are intent on having DRLs for the insurance discount, use the low beams, not the high beams. You really don't want to have the DRLs on in low light conditions (e.g. overcast) blinding someone with too much glare, causing him/her to crash into you. And don't use the turn signals as DRLs either, unless you want to increase the chance of giving false signals. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.

To be honest, other than AAA, I no of no other insurance carrier offering a
discount for DRL's. I'd assume there may be a couple more out there, but the insurance industry in general does not offer that discount. "RWM" > wrote in message ... > > Timothy J.
