I can tell you don't live in PA.  We have had Police cars, Ambulances and 
recently, a Fire Truck hit by people running stop signs and red lights.
If they don't pay attention to all those fla****ng lights and sirens, too,
do you really think the DRL on my Miata is going to have nay effect at
all?


And, around here, the problem is going to get much worse as we are
beginning to see the indicators that lots of people are buying (illegally)
those boxes the police and fire depts are supposed to have to change
the lights to green as they approach.  This results in very short
green lights for the side traffic and I am sure someone pulling away
from one of these short green lights is going to get T-boned.  Sure
will be glad when I get to move away from here!!
