I was just wondering how many members here use the bike lights in the day light. I certainly do because it just makes you stand out that little better. After all motorcyclist,s do as many cars too. I have a set of Cob lights from Aldi and they are very bright and noticeable and day light. I use the flashing mode so the battery lasts a good while between recharges.

Yes, I often put on the lights in daytime.
Had them on today coming home at about 1.30pm.

Unless visibility is compromised due to poor weather, then no.
There's no evidence DRLs make cars any safer outside of a sub-Arctic climate, and some evidence that inappropriate headlamp use (as opposed to dim-dip or DRL) during the day may actually increase the chances of trouble. I also wouldn't jump off a cliff just because motorcyclists did it.

I suspect that in the vast majority of cases this is because the motorbike / car comes with DRL's that can't be turned off.

They can be if you have the will to do it.

I have (used lights in the day time) but I tend not too unless its poor visibility or first thing in the morning or about to go dark in half an hour; I like to save my batteries for when I might need them.
You can control lights with your mind?!
