Passerby B: Big Brother, your lights are not off!

Passerby C: How is that person's car so bright? My eyes are spent? Really annoying!

Daytime running lights are signal lights

Daytime running lights should meet basic brightness requirements, but they should not be too bright to avoid disturbing others. The daytime running light is different from the ordinary low beam light. It is specially designed for daytime driving lighting. The daytime running light using LED technology has further improved the energy saving effect, and the energy consumption is only 10% of the ordinary low beam. When the car engine is started, the daytime running lights are automatically turned on and the brightness is continuously increased to attract the attention of other motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians on the road. It should be noted that when the night falls, the driver turns off the low beam, and the daytime running light is automatically turned off. Some drivers think they have daytime running lights, and in order to save energy, they don't turn on other lights. This is very bad, because driving the daytime driving lights at night will not only cause bad influence to others, but also a hazard to yourself. Although the daytime running lights are very bright, its actual lighting effect Very weak, it is almost impossible for the driver in the car to illuminate the road. Therefore, the driver with this device is prompted to turn off the daytime running lights in time.

The biggest role of daytime running lights is to provide visibility of the vehicle. In the Nordic and North American countries, such as Sweden and Canada, because the winter is long and it often snows, the transportation department stipulates that driving during the day must be turned on. According to statistics, 60% of car accidents are caused by unclear sights. A survey conducted by the German traffic control department shows that if traffic is turned on during the day, 3% of traffic accidents will be avoided; while the Dutch Ministry of Transport conducts in some cities in China. The result of the pilot was that the headlights were turned on during the day and the chance of serious traffic accidents dropped by 5% to 12%. From this point of view, the regulation of driving lights during the day is actually an emphasis on driving safety, reflecting the respect for life. The widespread use of daytime running lights is derived from a vehicle headlight standard mandated by the European Union. In order to improve driving safety, on September 24, 2008, the European Commission announced to the outside world that all new passenger cars and minivans in the EU will be launched on August 7, 2011, as well as new ones starting on August 7, 2012. Daytime Running Light (DRL) must be installed on all types of trucks and buses.

From the perspective of those EU countries that have begun to respond to this regulation, the use of daytime running lights has indeed played a positive and effective role in improving road safety and reducing traffic accidents. After the installation of the daytime running lights, vehicles such as cars, trucks and buses have significantly improved visibility, which increases the safety of driving. For China's large-scale production, sales and use of vehicles, driving safety has become a top priority. The author also expects that the daytime running lights are no longer a high-end configuration of face, but truly become a must-have for safety.
