hmmm ... for years when riding a motorcycle (in the US) it's been 
mandatory (if not automatic) to have headlights on. Couldn't 
specifically site a study or statistics to back this up, but I believe 
it's for reasons of visibility ... hey trust me people don't always see 
motorcycles so it makes sense that you'd what to do anything you can to 
increase your profile (as it were) so as to not wind up in a ditch 
somewhere. I really think the same thing applies to cars as well ... 
ever notice that most semi-trucks always run with lights on regardless 
of conditions.

I think the way that you're looking at this is akin to saying .. I never 
wear my seat belts ... never been in an accident, so why bother buckling 
up. You argument isn't holding much weight. (IMHO) ;-)
