I originally thought the same but then heard a radio interview where they discussed a number of countries, mainly eastern European, who introduced DRL's and saw a significant drop in accidents. Is this discussion a little like the seatbelt debate of the 80's? We wouldn't think of driving without one now.
Unfortunately even in this current weather I am seeing many cars driving in murky conditions with no lights on. Whilst we here all, hopefully, have brains there are many out on the roads who don't. Whilst there are people out there like that you then have to force through legislation. If you want another example look at people using handheld mobiles whilst driving. I see someone doing this every day even though it is stupid and illegal. Stupid people still drive, sad but true.
