Oh, I know, I can use the front fog lights as day notice lights instead.
That'll do the trick. cue loud discussion


I think the CO2 argument against mandatory daytime lights is
irrelevant. The safety impact on vulnerable road users is the real
point.


It would be interesting to see if the risk homostasis effect applies to
this like it does to many other "safety improving" changes.


Yes - the safety disbenefit to vulnerable road users will carry on, while
any safety benefit obtained by seeing cars/lorries etc will be squandered.
