Abstract

This report evaluates the effectiveness of legislating the mandatory installation of daytime running lights (DRL) in new Canadian vehicles. Statistical analysis focuses on the reduction of two-vehicle, opposing-direction, daytime collisions for vehicle model years before and after the legislation (1989). The analysis showed that use of DRL reduced these collisions by 8.3%. Economic analysis is the subject of a separate report. (Author/publisher)
