This is fact.. After driving small low sports cars for many years.. They are harder to see in traffic from taller cars with idiots on the phone.
I had turned my DRLs off because I didn't like the look of them with their yellowish glow. I turned them back on recently due to the fact it helps others see my diminutive ride coming on thru..
