What exactly does cold pressure mean?

Driving is not a difficult task and the reason there are so many incompetents out driving is because the american system encourages incompetence. The american system is ass-backwards, it is set up on the logic that incompentence is to be accepted and forgiven and that everyone else has to compensate for it. Remember, we are supposed to drive at low speeds to compensate for the morons as just one example.

Not only that, but the teachings have progressed to the point where the incompetents believe that other people are legally obligated to facilitate their incorrect driving.

The american system has often demonized one specific behavior or another. Right now it's "drunk" driving where "drunk" is determined by BAC level. By doing this the system avoids change. People focus on particular sources of bad driving but not the bad driving itself. It's ass-backwards construction remains intact.

There is a motorcycle lobby against DRLs.

There is a theory that DRLs cause accidents, accidents that don't involve the vehicle that has the DRLs.

That may be part of why the NHTSA has not mandated them, or it could be that they don't consider the studies to be conclusive overall for the US.

It may be they work better at higher lattitudes.

Some people have their DRLs disabled.

BTW, when you buy a car, its a good idea to check if DRLs are standard and get the dealer to turn them on if they are not activated. This goes for used cars as well. There are lots of cars out there where DRLs are standard but they are not activated, including new cars oddly enough. I think the cars are shipped to the dealer with the DRLs turned off.

Just look the oncoming traffic an notice all the GM vehicles without DRLs. DRLs have been standard on all GM vehicles for many years.

If you don't get it done when you buy, it will cost you an hour's labor to get them activated.

________________________________ S'far as I know, they are required by law at least many states.

I'm proud to hear at least one group of motorists is against DRLs.

Do I believe they cause more accidents? No, but . . .

Do I think they're necessary? I've already answered that. ;)

That are not required in any states. They are required in a number countries.

This will make your chest puff out with pride:

I tied a piece of string around the outside door handle on my van to remind me to turn off the lights. cuhulin

_____________________ Hmm.. a group of people who actually use their BRAINS.

Nope. No one will listen to them! I know that no one listens to me. ;)

I think lots of people are listening. I tried to find a way to activate DRLs on one of my cars, and I found tons of info on how to deactivate them.

Just drive down the street and count the number of late model GM vehicles that don't have DRLs. DRLs are *standard* on all those vehicles. Somebody must have disabled them or a dealer must have left them disabled.

That doesn't sound like using brains a me!

Tom, that 45% wasn't directed towards you, it's simply a figure used by a lot of anti-15pass van activist, and it is easy to prove wrong.

But that center isle and 14 passenger layout looks great, I can only imagine one reason why Ford won't do it - cost.

DRL? They're required here in Canada since the early 90's. Must be the reason why no 15pass vans flip over here ;)

On the contrary, a minority of people use their brains.
