but at the expense of motorcyclists and poorly or non-illuminated road users who will become less noticeable, even in daylight.
I'm in Finland with mandatory DRL outside of densely populated areas and I've noticed that when every car has the lights on if there's one that forgot the lights it's almost invisible as the brain has adjusted to look only for the lights, not the cars.

I have tried to train myself to wait until I "can see that the road is empty" instead of just checking that "I can't see any cars" when entering.

Also when I'm on the motorcycle I use the high beam at daytime as that makes me a little bit more visible.
