There are plenty of studies that show DRL implementation dropping multiple car accidents (2 people involved, not indicating 3+) by 10-30%! http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/DRLs/studies.htm
I know it might not look "cool" but the facts surrounding the use of them are hard to argue against. |
And a study that shows they have no effect (unless your driving a small truck apparently):
4. NHTSA’s most recent study finds no significant benefit to daytime running lights. It’s a little hard to track down, but NHTSA technical report HS 811 029 (pdf) states:
This is the third statistical analysis conducted by NHTSA to evaluate the effectiveness of daytime running lights (DRLs)…the analysis found that DRLs have no statistically significant overall effects
NHTSA’s study did find that daytime running lights reduced light truck crashes about 5%, but otherwise they had no statistically significant impact on safety.
That being said I would leave them alone on any car I owned.
