| Transport Canada New Tail Light Requirement
Transport Canada requires new vehicles to have tail lights that come on automatically Quote:
New lighting standard
As of September 2021 the Canadian Vehicle Lighting Regulation will require that all new vehicles sold in Canada have one of the following:
- tail lights that come on automatically with daytime running lights
- headlights, tail lights, and side marker lights that turn on automatically in the dark
- a dashboard that stays dark to alert the driver to turn on the lights
This standard will apply to all new vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs, 3-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles and heavy trucks).
| THANK YOU TRANSPORT CANADA

People are idiots, every night I see at least one car driving with lights off.
I've had to explain low beams and drls so many times to my old customers.
Chevy has had it right for the last 20+ years, front and back lights are always on. At least on the full sized trucks.

I think the next implementation that Transport Canada needs to do is to mandate vehicles to shout at the operator if their high beams are on
"HEY ASSHOLE YOUR HIGH BEAMS ARE ON, TURN THAT SHIT OFF BEFORE YOU DRIVE"

Not sure why car manufacturers are so slow to adapting to automatic headlights.

This has been a huge issue coming off the ferry at night. Two lanes of dense traffic racing to get where ever they are going and half the cars have no tail lights.

lol, it's died down a bit now, but every single car forum 5+ years ago was inundated with mostly Americans with "HOW DO I DISABLE DRL I DONT WANT THE GOVERNMENT TELLING ME WHEN I NEED TO HAVE MY LIGHTS ON".

How does it detect when highbeams are required or not?
I usually turn my highbeams off any time I'm not the lead vehicle in a dark highway if I'm relatively close to a car in front of me.

its sensor usually found by your rearview mirror
it's awesome, probably even more useful than auto-wipers

Also works with radar cruise and if it senses another car in front of you it turns off the high beams.
