I see this literally every day (night) here in Ontario, where all new cars
have been equipped with DRLs since 1/1/90. A steady stream of cars running
only DRLs (or DRLs plus parkers and markers) without proper headlamps.
It's such a simple, basic problem, and it's so incredibly easy to fix, but
the regulator in charge of Canada's lighting laws says the problem doesn't
exist.
