I always drive with the lights ON in all of my vehicles..even my truck. Wish D.T.R.L.'s were optional on all cars.

The S is a tiny car...Small cars need big lights to be seen.

When it's overcast and at dusk I put them on because Silverstone is hard to see.

I've set up my fog lamps as daytime running lights. I've learned from experience that people are far more likely to see me with them on -- a real issue with a Silverstone S2000.

I voted yes and here is why, I'm a motorcyclist and I know headlights have a lot more value to offer than just allowing the driver to see, they allow the driver to be seen!

When I'm out on the road I want every advantage I can get. There are a lot of dumb drivers out there as we all know, and if running with my lights on makes them notice me or see me better, great, that is an advantage I am going to take.

In NY we have a law that if your wipers are on, your headlights must be on, and it amazes me the number of dolts driving along in their silver/grey/white/black cars with their lights off.

There are signs here in Jersey that say: "Wipers On. Lights On." Unless its raining or night my lights stay off.

61.7% Lights on only when necessitated by the weather (ie: rain, fog, snow, etc.).

I'm amazed, such a simple thing as turning your headlights on for additional safety and lots of people don't do it...
