Again, why do you want the front of cars lit up but not the back?
Pretty obvious to anyone who actually drives. The front of the car
is comming towards you

On the other side of the road, it's far easier to hit the back of
another car than one going the other way on the wrong side.

at the combined speed of the car approaching
and your car. He's doing 100kph and you are doing 90, the closing
speed is 190kph.,

Oh no, you don't actually believe that do you? Answer this simple
question:

Situation 1: You drive at 50mph into a brick wall.
Situation 2: You drive at 50mph into another identical car going at
50mph the other way.

WTF does that have to do with closing speed? He never said anything
about damage, but closing speed has a lot to do with time to evade an
accident. I thought you were smarter than that Harry.

She wasn't clear what she meant by it. But most people use closing speed when talking about damage.
I think "harry" Macaw is taking the crazy position he is taking
figuring he can out- mart or out argue or whatever a "woman".....

Nobody can out-mart a woman. Women are brilliant at shopping.

And closing speed, past a certain very limited point, and damage,
become pretty well irrelevant as dead is dead - and totally destroyed
is totally destroyed.

So why did you bring up the fact that cars coming the other way have more closing speed if you think it's irrelevant?

The best way to survive a collision is to avoid it.
The best way to avoid it is to see and be seen.
The BE SEEN is the part very effectively affected by "daylighting". As
a rallye driver in the past, "daylighting" was one of the safety
precautions we ALL took - long before DRLs became mandatory, or even
common.

To be seen you do NOT require as much light as to see. Bright lights to illuminate your surroundings, dim lights to mark the position of your vehicle for others to notice you. A bright light means they can no longer see your vehicle, just lights, this makes it harder to judge your speed, width, and distance. And no lights are necessary if the surrounding daylight is reasonable - if your eyes cannot pick up an object using the light reflected off it, you should seek immediate help from an optician.
