As driver and motorcyclist I am a fan of DRL's - many reasons here in the states. After a 2 month long 9000 mile trip on a motorcycle criss-crossing the US - "lights on" allow you to be seen - even on a sunny day, especially on a winding road with trees where you are in the shadows and someone thinks twice before pulling out in front of you - that stutter go-then-stop. I see it all the time on my bike - and in my car. All of my cars have DRL's enabled and there are countless occassions when another driver pauses before doing something stupid.
I don't buy the driving around in the dark argument against them - most burn at 45% and will not light your way - and there is not much difference at night vs having them on or not.
Most of the LED's or signature lights take care of this issue at night anyway on the newer cars.
It's all about being seen.
