Another difference is the brake lights turn on instantly, and so they will "grab" the attention of the drivers behind you better than incandescent bulbs; and ditto for turn signals.

That's my main reason. When I am at a stoplight at night, I turn off the engine and the headlights, but I keep the running lights on. That way I am not taxing the battery when I restart the car, and my car is still visible to cars pulling up behind me.
