<VV> HEADLIGHTS IMPROVED (DRL's are great)

[Dave Keillor]

As the resident of a northern state (Minnesota) with lots of two lane
roads, I agree with Canadian Cousin Dave from Calgary.  It gets dark
early here in the winter and in the dusk of a winter afternoon, it's
hard to see oncoming cars.  Unfortunately, the US has made DRLs
mandatory.

Btw, I live in Rochester which is in the SE part of Minnesota, and when
I visit Toronto, I must travel south.

Well on behalf of the Canadian Cousin's, who don't rely on lawyers and
beaucrats as much as our southern neighbours, most of us are strong
promotors of the daytime running lights.  On the highways, they are a
great aid in seeing other cars coming at you and being able to judge a
safe place to pass, especially at dusk (when so many folks do not
remember to turn on their lights!!).  The DRL system works very well
under those circumstances and more than justifies their use in Canada.
We'll keep them, thanks....
