Headlights during the day

Whilst cycling the other day, I did notice the difference, in that you can see a car coming sooner if it has lights on.

This just in: rain is wet!

I have done a lot of motorcycling in the past and I always switched on dipped headlights every time I rode out, I was often informed that my lights were on during the daylight hours, my answer was, "can you see them", the answer was mostly a yes, I would then answer "good that's why they're on"!

Now look here. The other day I was driving (with lights off) my Micra K-11 (good car btw, had one since 2000) where trees made it a bit dark. Dude stepped into the road forcing me to brake, and I'm sure he didn't see me because he was looking at his smart phone.
The point is, he may have seen a car that had lights on. And the point is also, why should drivers have to put lights on so people can read phones and not bother looking where they're going?

I am not particularly bothered by cars which have their headlights on during the day as long as they are dipped.

Because it doesn't matter whose fault it is, if you can avoid running somebody over, your day will be better.
