headlights during the daytime

[Fleckers]

OK so I think I get the DRL even thought I dont like them

but this weekend during the day time its not like its been grey or overcast but I have seen so many cars of different types and ages driven by ddifernet people, men, women young old, chav, none chav etc with their head lights on

these are no DRL or side lights, but normal main beam head lights

WTF !!!!

or is it just they turn lights on when its dark and dont bother to ever touch the switch again ??

maybe its a new club but its not one I am going to join

Why does it annoy you? Even one reason would do.

OK to answer a few questions.

I call them main beam, not side lights or full beam, I do know the difference
yes I do see cars with their lights on, BUT it does not mean that I crash in to cars that dont have their lights on
the time of day I have been taking about is not early morning, or late evening, this weekend I have been driving from about 10am until about 4pm, no way was the sun low, bad light or anything else.
as I said I sort of get DRL's i get bikes wiht their lights on, but some of the cars I have seen have been 8 - 10+ years old so they dont have built DRL's so I am assuming people are turning their lights on.

Why does it annoy me, we I learnt to drive a long time ago and back then there was certain times of day when you had to turn your lights on it was between dark and dawn

this ooooooooh look I have lights on so I can be seen it rubbish, if you feel that bad about the need ot be seen in case someone has not seen you you have the option to flash your lights and use your horn but I guess you are too busy doing getting your high viz jacket on and wearing a crash helmet just in case someone get a bit close.

maybe its just me, but I dont want to drive with my lights on thinking I am in mortal danger

i am sure this used to be pistonheads where people loved cars etc, not mumseynet where people live in fear of everything

headlights on so I can be seen and safe, if everyeon does it you wont be seen or any safer

shakeing head just not worth commenting any further
