Do you find bright daytime running lights to be a distraction?

I am concerned that BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Ford appear to compete with each other to see who has the biggest and brightest daylight running lights. I find this very distracting at the moment when there...

LED light positioning

I recently drove several miles of busy M25 behind, beside and ahead of a Porsche SUV which had those new LED 'eyebrows.' When he was behind me he changed lanes several times without signalling: it happens...

Daylight running lights

Should my new Skoda Octavia, first registered in June 2011, have the daylight running lights operating or does it meet the legal requirements by just having them fitted?

Use of lights

Please can you tell me what is now acceptable for use of front lights? I am sure I have heard that the E.U. have over-ruled the highway code on this. I don't have DRL's on my 08 Panda 100 so if I consider...

Blindingly oblivious

The problem ‘highlighted’ recently with xenon lamps is unlikely to be with properly installed lights, which have self-adjusters. The problem is with aftermarket lights, which are fitted to standard headlights...

The livid daylights

Is it still true that we will forced to drive in daylight hours with our headlights on at all times, even in bright sunlight? Seems to be more EU control freakery. One result will be more battery failures...
