  What are the benefits of daytime running lights?
Studies have shown that DRLs can reduce the risk of road accidents.
A Canadian report from 1997 showed a 5.7 per cent fall in crashes for cars with DRLs fitted, while an American study from 2000 put the figure at seven per cent. The EU didn’t investigate the issue until 2003, but suggested a likely reduction of between five and 15 per cent.

I actually agree with you BUT we are not talking about car on car accidents we are talking about bike lights that we used run and stand out in the daytime cause we were the only thing on the road in the daylight with a light (apart from volovos which were dim and yellowy ) but now our lights are lost in the sea of very bright LED DRL.
