....DRL's are attention getters that make your brain go "what's that bright
thing?". Then you look and "oh, it's a car."

What you just described is the tyoe of DISTRACTION that kills hundreds of motorcyclists a year. I agree 100% with Jon on this, and would even go a step further to insinuate that DRL's are the product of trying to overcome people's natural proclivity toward laziness. People are simply too lazy in many cases to be bothered to turn their lights on, or to pay attention to their surroundings. DRL's are a poor method of trying to get people to pay attention....
