Then take a fuking walk. If the everything on an automobile has 0.01% inefficiency, we'd all be fuked, since there are millions of automobiles.
YOU ARE A TROLL. Go back to your Honda Insight forum and talk about how righteous your electric (fed by coal power plant) cars are.

Believe it or not, the car manufacturers have just as much as a vested interested in this. Why? Because a$$holes like H3.007 will sue them at the drop of a hat. If they didn't have DRLs someone somewhere would sue them for not having DRLs. If they do have DRLs, someone somewhere (probably has) sued them for being distracted and causing an accident. By the nature of the free market and litigation, companies (all companies) know that not pissing off the masses is the best approach to business.

After a period of time, people were crashing into the back of each other just as much as when they didn't exist. What may sound logical doesn't always work, because we are dealing with people, not machines.

Show me a study on 3rd brake lights, I'll show you one that is the opposite. This is about common sense. I f'in HATE DRLs on vehicles, but I also know, because I'm a normal human being with common sense, that lights are easier to see than cars. Drive west at sunset sometime, idiot, you'll agree (wait, you don't drive because alternators are inefficient).

At the same time, your IQ has decreased (guarateed, studies show IQ decreases with age). Also at the same time, the incidence of breast cancer has decreased, which means
Daytime Running Lights have caused the decrease in breast cancer!! I think this is due to the headlight syndrom.
