"Further to its consultation, recent discussions with the EC now lead us to conclude that it may not press for early adoption of mandatory daytime running lights"
Well it appears the Commission is listening to the concerns which is good news.

bollocks to the lot of them lol
I still ask for a Quarter Pound of ham at the deli and always will!
try stopping me from using my traditional measure if you dare!
after all my Head of State and Sovereign DID Swear on Oath to "Govern me according to MY Laws and Customs didn't She?), (1953 Coronation Oath)
what's that?, a sworn Oath is worthless?, you mean therefore that an Oath I Swear in Court is also worthless?, surely not?

Actually I've a feeling he started a bit later than me.
Best wishes all,

Good morning, you young tyke. Well, I learned to drive in 1957 while in Her Majesty's Royal Air Force. I was working at a remote squadron dispersal & learned on a 1 ton Bedford truck with a crash gearbox, then graduated to the Land Rover & was given my airfield driving licence. I have to admit that I didn't get my civvy licence until 1962.
Cheers, Chris.

"....may not press for the early adoption...."
Nope, I don't trust the bu99ers. I want the proposal withdrawn completely until it becomes quite clear that there is a significant benefit to be had.

And I agree with TripleS, unless there's a clear benefit it should be scrapped.
It really pigs me off when I see new Audis, then notice their bright LED daytime lights, and then think "Well if I'm supposed to need the aid of lights to be able to see it in daylight, why have Audi seen fit to paint it black . . ?"

Past research has merely accepted the drivers’ statement that they did not actually see the high-conspicuity vehicle and so has invested effort in making vehicles physically more noticeable by increasing the light emitted or reflected by vehicle high conspicuity marking schemes.
However, evidence from psychology and the fact that people still crash into bright conspicuous vehicles suggests that just addressing physical visibility factors is relatively naïve.

Which translates to:
If a driver does not bother to look outside their car and crashes as a result they blame the car for being invisible.
Bad car bad invisible car.
