Agreed. Contributing factor is dash lights come on when DRL's are on. If they did not it would be an additional clue (when it was dark outside) that your headlights were not on. Dash not lit - headlights not on.
Not sure if it's a wives tale but I've been told one of the reasons against full time headlights when the ignition was on was US military bases influenced this. When approaching the entry gate they wanted vehicles to be able to turn lights off and not blind the guards. Who knows.
I had to laugh. I was on Stoney a few weeks ago at night. Dude in front of us is riding the a$$ or a struggler in front of them who also happened not have their headlights on. And the guy was flashing his lights and generally trying to tell this guys his lights in a pretty aggressive manner. And the idiot did not have his his lights on either.........
