Wow...Ive driven over a million miles in my short lifetime so far, and I 
have NEVER had an accident. Of any type. Ever. Nor have I ever had any 
chance of a head on. There have been close calls, usually to my own 
blame.  On the instances it would have been the other drivers fault, 
DRL's wouldnt have made a hoot of difference.
Ill agree, if you cant see another car on the road, then you shouldnt 
have your license.
