DRL's Are Good... Aren't They???

Don't forget it from the other side. Drivers who slow, rather than stop, when the central lines are solid, end up causing the emergency vehicle driver an issue. Emergency vehicles are not exempt crossing white lines , unless like normal traffic they are passing a stationary vehicle. So if it's solid white lines, please pull over and stop, even on a straight section of a nice wide road. Personally , I'd take the fine, as putting on priorities en route an incident, means there is a life at stake but it would be easier if there wasn't a chance of committing an offence.

People are mindless morons when it comes to blue lights... I've seen them just stop, causing the emergency vehicle to stop also as there was nowhere safe to get by

Google 'Blue Light Aware' from the Guild of Experienced Motorists. It's a very informative video made with the co-operation of the emergency services. Even as an experienced (retired truck/bus/coach) driver myself I learnt a few points.[/QUOTE]

This one? Quite interesting.

I asked MartyUK if we could dim the DRL's when the headlamps came on....perhaps with a factory fitted kit.... He suggested I use a contacts normally closed relay, so I did

Photo's later.

Suffice to say, I wired them to the engine relay, via a 3amp fuse, then hooked up the relay, so it opens when the headlamps are switched on.

So, I start the engine, I have bright DRL's all day. When it starts getting dark, I switch on my headlamps the the DRL's go off so don't dazzle anyone.
