i think the only reason this is happening is so we use more fuel, so we more buy more fuel and thats more money in the governments pocket. pssh

Where did you get that from?

Not seen that at all in all the research I've done for a recent assignment. From what I've seen legislation will only be in relation to new car and light goods vehicles.

aye, dont know where you heard that scottie?

i heard it on the news aaaaaaggggeeeeessssss ago that they were "thinking" of introducing it

would be a bit silly, not hard to implement though. and that link is old, ill do more digging.

And Bump..so here I am today sitting at home with a right old dose of flu ..so I thought I would have a natter with an old friend..Julian @ balance motorsport while surfing his site I came across this..

DaDRL DRL Safety issues

So what you think then peeps are they really such a good idea..or just another load of bureaucracy brussles are shotting at us..

Ha. Come across that site alot in my paper I done and a lot of it were just opinions and didn't stand tbh. Take the pic. During daylight even if someone has their mainbeam on coming onwards to you or from behind it will catch your eye and be noticeable but is only really full on dazzling if you were to stare/look straight into the light units. It's only when dark when the general level of light (lux I think it is) is lower than that of the light units emitting the light that they become full on dazzling (ie dazzling both when looking directly at the light source or it's general direction.
