Driving with the lights on during the day

[Alex@POD]

Following the thread about sunglasses, I thought that:

On a related note, sunglasses can cause you to see very little it you drive under trees, with light hitting your car on and off. Which is why I always drive with my sidelights on (bright LED rows), so I can be seen in that case and many others...

I think it's mandatory in Sweden, and it is advised in some parts of France...

What do you think?

Headlights or nothing. I dont understand - if you feel the need to be seen, why do you only drive with sidelights (I thought they were parking lights anyway).

As I mentionned I have added 2 rows of bright LEDs, very much like driving lamps on a lot of american cars if you like... They are not so bright so that I still need the dipped beam when it gets dark or rains heavily, but also I found that that dipped beam can bother other motorists during the day...
