What DRL lights are and why they matter
DRL lights (Daytime Running Lights), or daytime lights, are devices that switch on automatically when the vehicle is started to increase its visibility during the day. Fitted as standard on newer cars, they can also be added to or replaced on older-generation cars, motorcycles and trucks.
A clearly visible daytime running light reduces the risk of accidents because it allows other road users to spot the vehicle from a distance even in bright sunlight.
