Kelly, Don't be so offensive. I did not against other things you mentioned except may be the airbag. I have doubts on any very expensive "safety" device which has the possibility of KILLING. It DID kill almost 100 people in the States so far. The airbag sensor which trigger the explosion is not reliable too. Just visit the junk yard and you'll see cars totaled but the airbag is still intact. There are many reasons to against mandatory DRLs. Not to mention that you at Canada has much less ambient lighting especially in the winter than the US. Just check the web page http://www.lightsout.org/. My points is if you want it, just turn the headlight switch on. Why mandate it? Regards, Yi-Ruey Wei 87 Vanagon GL Syncro w/78K miles 85 Jetta GLI w/165K miles Dallas, Texas
