I think dark colored cars should be illegal. It's just not safe. A dark blue or gray that blends with the road, headlights off takes whole moments more to perceive.
it should be impossible for people to turn off their headlights, even in more visible paint colors the risk is fucking ludicrous for no discernable benefit.
For some reason I thought that Daytime Running Lights were required in the US, but apparently they're not (they should be!). I feel like most newer cars I see have them, but I can't say I've been taking a careful inventory.
even on cars that have them, it can be a setting rather than what automatically happens. one car i drove had a normal daytime setting but i thought it was the highbeams since an even lower 'running light' existed.
there is no reason for normal people to have the option to turn them off, a film crew or photographer can get technical and under the hood if they need to
