Irresponsible assholes like you cause accidents. By putting YOUR vehicle
into "stealth" mode, it increases the chances that pedestrians and other
motorists won't see it.

Maybe he doesnt like the fact that forcing everyone in the US to have them
on would cause ~4million extra tons of CO2 usage per year alone? I
personally have yet to be shown any evidence that proves its any safer - IMO
its not easier to see a car with lights on in the daylight than it is with
them off. Maybe people should simply drive more carefully instead of
constantly trying to create new "safety" features to take away their
responsibility? If it was that much of a difference in accident rate with
them on full-time a) it would have been introduced earlier and b) it'd be
retro-fitted to cars much like seatbelts are these days in the UK.

Much like in a few places where they've completely removed all road signage
and found the area got massively safer because people had to slow down to
know what was going on around them and take more care of their actions.

But all thats a whole other can of worms.

What's with the hostility buddy? I live in Florida where DRLs are
useless. At night, I know how to turn the lights on myself. What's
with the "stealth mode" that you're talking about? There might be
idiots out there that need to have things done for them. I can do
them myself thank you.

Maybe he hasn't gotten laid in a while. Let's cut him some slack.

Up here, we have many idiots who drive around at NIGHT with NO lights
on....using just the ambient street lighting. Granted, some of them are
drunk or stoned.

Hey Sharx,

Have you got any idea how I can remove my lap and shoulder seatbelts?
Thanks for your info on how to disable my DRL, I've been able to get 4
pedestrians so far.

Damn air bag needs to be taken out too. Why should I pay for gas to
haul it around?
