  1. It is a selfish attitude because my safety (and my passengers safety) is my number 1 concern when I'm on the road. Why shouldn't I be selfish about my safety? Putting other peoples safety at risk because you're an idiot and would rather blab on the cell phone, put on makeup, spank your kids etc...rather than drive with caution is the worst form of selfish ever.
  2. DRLs do not compromise other peoples safety. If the person driving the car is irresponsible and imcompetent, DRLs won't make a difference, at all, none. If you can't see a car coming down the road during daylight hours because it doesn't have DRLs, then maybe you should get your vision corrected and stay away from roadways. It's all about common sense, some have it and some don't...thankfully Darwin will take care of some of those that don't. Your safety is not my concern, your safety is YOUR concern.
  3. Well over 10 years is right...My old 1988 and 1986 TurboCoupe Tbirds even had automatic headlights.
  4. Auto headlamps would be pretty nice. And not every one that lives in South Carolina eats, sleeps and breaths NASCAR btw
  5. That's in PA...not in SC. If people in PA would learn how to drive better, maybe they wouldn't make it a law.
  6. I don't about every body else' LGT but my connector didn't say DRL on it at all. When you pull the cover down look at the firewall just left of the clutch pedal and you should see a black (I think it was black) connector and a white connector that are right next to each other. Unplug the white connector and no more DRL I'm not sure if it's the same for your Outback though.....
  7. I pay very good attention when driving especially when driving through construction zones because I don't want a body flying through my windshield or bouncing off my car. I've driven through 6 different work zones in the past 9 days in 2 different states and not ONCE did I see a sign that said to turn on my headlights. They may have them where you live but I have yet to see any.
  8. OMG you just completely pwn3d me!!!!111one1!!one! I don't know why you are so hyped up about this. I understand wanting to be safe when on the road but you're being overzealous about it!! There are many people that take driving more seriously than others and don't need to have these types of safety devices to be careful. Same goes for traction control and stability control systems. Too many people don't want to use their brain when driving and that's where the problem lies, with the person behind the wheel.
  9. You said they have signs that say to turn on your headlights, those are clippings from a website that I'm not going to have access to while I'm driving. They also recommend you DEDICATE FULL ATTENTION TO THE ROADWAY. You know what causes 4 out of 5 daytime accidents? Rubber necking. There are more accidents caused by rubber necking than because some one *GASP* didn't have on their headlights. They don't see the other vehicle because they have their head so far up the ass of their cell phones. You're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Sit back, relax and drink a beer, it'll calm you down!!
  10. You sound like the dorky safety patrol nerd from elementary school that used to cry all the time because people wouldn't stop running in the halls. I have yet to EVER see a construction sign that says to turn your lights on in my travels from Florida up to Pennsylvania. If they can't see a car coming down the road in the middle of the day (when the majority of work crews are working) then having headlights on is NOT going to help them see you. And the better question is, why are they watching the road if they are there doing construction? Doesn't it put them at risk by distracting them with lights flashing by them? Maybe you could fill us all in since you seem to be a construction worker that spends his days looking for cars that don't have their head lights on because the only way to see a car during the day is with it's head lights on.
  11. Forgot to mention that I unplugged the DRLs on my '05 LGT yesterday....also got rid of the annoying seat belt chime!
  12. If a pedestrian isn't paying enough attention to what's happening on the road they are walking on/next to then they shouldn't be near roads in the first place. The only person responsible for your safety is YOU, not the drivers on the road or the police or the fire department. Pay attention to your surroundings and you'll be ok.
