I can't be the only one noticing this. At first I thought it was just new cars doing it (faulty automatic lights maybe?) but I see a lot of older cars without auto lights doing it too.

What is this, a new trend? Seems stupid.

EDIT: Turns out that's the safer way to drive and I am the stupid one haha.

They told us driving with lights on reduced accidents by 30%. Don't know if it was true, but I know it helps me when other drivers have their lights on in the day, particularly silver and white vehicles.

If it's safer maybe I should start doing it too.

In some countries it's even mandatory (like in Bulgaria)
