Why are a ton of people driving with their headlights on during the day? (hexbear.net)

I can't be the only one noticing this. At first I thought it was just new cars doing it (faulty automatic lights maybe?) but I see a lot of older cars without auto lights doing it too.

What is this, a new trend? Seems stupid.

EDIT: Turns out that's the safer way to drive and I am the stupid one haha.

Visibility.

Many cars have Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that are always on so as to draw more attention to cars during times like dusk or dawn where light is waining and it’s not dark enough to trigger auto headlights.
