Last night driving home in the dark I came up behind not one but two cars driving with only front DRL's on and no rear lights at all............ It would appear that the owners of these cars had no idea that their cars were almost invisible from behind and had no idea that because you have DRL's doesn't mean your full running lights are all on.
Time for car makers or the "nanny state" to step in and save us all from the idiots on the road. What I find annoying is that these people also cannot ever be looking at their dashboard to see that there are no lights illuminating it............. too busy on the phone, chatting to their passenger or just dozzy? Evoque has a quite bright green light that comes on to indicate that the main running lights are on, I'm sure that 100% of other car makers also have some form of light to indicate that headlights are switched on too. Maybe a few court appearances for driving without due care and attention are in order. It would also help if car makers make rear lights come on in daytime too, even though there is no legal requirement to fit them there are several car makers out there that do fit them.
