Idiot Things The Yaris Does

DRLs arent' for the driver though, they're for other cars to see that they are in fact, running cars and not parked ones. The issue is that the instrument pabnels is always lit. If they linked the cluster to the headlight switch people SHOULD NOT forget to turn them on.

Ah but the fact is THEY DO! I used to work second shift and come home at midnight. It was very common to see people driving without parking lights on. They start the car, the headlights are on, and they dont think to turn them all the way on.

If there were not DRLs then they would have to turn their headlites (and so the tail lights) on.
