Totally agree. Silver and light-to-medium gray cars are the worst for visibility on gray, asphalt roads. I suspect (but can't prove) that is one of the main reasons why we have headlight-on laws with windshield wipers in damp weather and DRL (Daytime Running Lights) standard on all new cars.
Agreed, but just in case you didn't know, DRL's are not standard on all new cars in the US currently.
DRL's is a separate topic and a separate thread because in the US it's still up in the air.

They are standard in Canada, per Motor Vehicle Standard 108, and, though not Federally mandated (yet ) here in the U.S., are pretty much standard on all new cars anyway. Few U.S.-market vehicles still lack them.
I agree that DRLs are a separate topic to some extent, but also tie in with the current disscusion about automotive colors....and the poor visibility associated with silver/gray cars on asphalt roads and gray skies, which you and I both have agreed can be a problem.

Short answer, they are not mandatory in the US and they are not standard on all cars in the US, just keeping it factual here (refer to your post #41 earlier)
