[QUOTE]Originally posted by Austin Powers: [QB] Daytime running lights are mandatory in Europe only in Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland), as far as I know. But definitely not in Germany. And I am actually against the idea - in spite of my experience on Sunday. The reason? Most drivers I have met in my ten years of driving experience turned their lights on when the daytime or weather situation made it necessary. Only a very small minority did and does not. However, with ever more cars being equipped with ultrabright Xenon lights you are glad when they don't have their headlights on. The thought that all these cars would have their headlights on all day, even in brightest sunshine - of which we have a lot - sends shivers down my spine. Besides, having your headlights on all the time makes for less economic fuel consumption. And though you Americans don't have to worry about that, WE in Europe and in Germany in particular have seen fuel prices soaring in recent years thanks not only to OPEC but to a very high so called "Eco-tax".
