Proposal for Daylight Running Lights on ALL vehicles.

The UK is the only EU member state to have disagreed with this proposed piece of legislation. Stephen Ladyman has already been through the motions with Brussels, but it looks like it is going to be ratified anyway due to the overwhelming majority in favour.

Does that mean it will be brought in in UK or we will opt out?

I can't see a problem with this at all (or am I missing something ?)

At least this way, that bloke behind you in the rain will have to have his lights on so you will be able to see hime. For me that's a good thing. In daytime when it's bright and if I'm filtering I'll often be on main beam to make sure people see me coming, it's not going to dazzle them during daylight, but I can still stand out..

Jelster, you won't be able to see that bloke behind you in the rain against the glare of everybody elses lights, totally unnecessary if you ask me, now everybody will be clamouring for more powerful lights so they can stand out against the background glare, remember this is headlights in daylight.[/url]

Yep ive had mine in since feb last year and they are still the same ones after my crashes, weird.

Oops, should've read the original post properly! It's not headlights, as stu so rightly pointed out !
