Daytime Running Lights: Study Shows 8.8-Percent Reduction in Crash Risk
Kia Soul EV - Rear Photo: D.Boshouwers Daytime running lights are not new to Canada, which was one of the first countries to make them mandatory in new vehicles. The logic is simple and self-evident: A vehicle driven with its headlights on during the day is more visible and less likely to be missed by other motorists.
The study, published in the Journal of Safety Research, used police data from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia to estimate the extent to which automatic DRLs reduce the risk of being involved in a multi-car crash where visibility is a factor. The data used for the study was for police-reported injury crash statistics for incidents between 2010 and 2017, which were shared online on February 8. The information made public included vehicle identification numbers , which allowed the study’s authors to determine which vehicles were equipped with daytime running lights.
