My GiT has always had her DRL's on, as a safety feature, esp as I do many miles (incl. motorway) everyday

Why go against the experts

So which do you all prefer  The Audi type ones ? or the R type ones ?

R type ones please.

Regarding DRLs being mistaken for someone flashing, anyone who thinks that is clearly thick. I'd buy it if we're having a conversation about automatic lights, there are a couple of junctions near me where my lights come on as I come under a bridge to the junction and every time, I get 1 or 2 people thinking I'm letting them through. If I wasn't aware of the issue, I probably would have driven into someone by now.

I have been told by a number of people "I though you flashed me to come out"... does that mean that I am thick? or would that be the person that pulled out making the assumption.

this has happened a number of times.. i dont see how I am to blame :rolleyes:

Hah! I just read that again. I mean the people who think that you're flashing them. Not you the driver. I'll take my foot out my mouth now shall I?  :grin:
