   This is why street legal motorcycles in the US have had headlights on   
   all the time for almost 4 decades now, so the physically much smaller   
   vehicle would have a better chance of being seen - then some marketing   
   idiot decided that DRLs would be a selling feature on cars, negating any   
   safety advantage.   
      
   What is next - flashing yellow beacons on all vehicles and not just road   
   maintenance vehicles?
