I don't understand some of the objections to the idea of defensive driving being voiced here.
One of the biggest challenges to operating a vehicle safely is visibility. I have no objection to turning my lights on if it helps another driver, whether he/she is as attentive a driver as I or not, to see my vehicle. It's such a simple thing to do, and it's for my own protection. Why not?

Maine like a lot of other states has the rule about if your wipers are on, you have to have your headlights on. I dont have them on either of my vehicles, but have always wondered whether DRLs (you know the ones on Chevies, where one is always burned out) meet that requirement. They help with making the vehicle visible, but they aren't headlights. Hmmmmm.
