Daytime Running Lights or Not

No option to turn it off in Canada. They have to be always on by default.

My source is the NHSTA, and they say DRLs offer no appreciable benefits and in some cases reduced safety.

They have also been found to significantly increase fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

Now who's stupid?

Sorry but did you read the links you posted?

...The crash avoidance and life saving effectiveness of DRLs is documented in
multiple assessments of mandatory, voluntary, and proposed programs in both
Europe and North America. These studies clearly show driver and passenger
lives saved by decreasing the number of multiple car and “angled” (left hand
turns) accidents during daylight hours.6 While mandatory in Canada, DRLs are
not mandatory in the United States. General Motors Corporation petitioned the
NHTSA in 2001 to initiate a rulemaking requiring all U.S. automakers to install
DRLs on new vehicles....

Never on, DRL's drive me crazy when I am in Canada. Glad we are free to choose in the USA!
