DRLs don't save lives lol.
By law if its raining you have to have your lights on. Thats the only time your light should run between sunup and sun down. The low lumen lights are not even comparable to a small glare off a windshield.
The reason motorcyclists get hit is because they are too small. At 300 feet you can fit a rider and motorcycle into the human blindspot. Obviously you can't hide them where you could hit them . . .but you might only be able to see part of their helmet with other cars and columns inside your car.
They put DRLs on so that they can tout their car as safer. I hit a car that had DRLs. Had nothing to do with not seeing them.
Most accidents don't. Most accidents are driver error as a result of speeding, unable to react quickly enough to a change in circumstances, minor twitch of the steering and over-correcting. . .Its usually not the driver didn't see the other vehicle.
