As you said, that was based on several studies completed at the time that showed a measurable benefit to highway safety.
However, for those HCHII owners in countries or regions not bound by such regulations, Tarabell's suggestion appears beneficial primarily for FE purposes.

Other studies have, however, found that DRL comes at the expense of pedestrians and cyclists. The problem seems to be that it raises the threshold of visibility and non-motorised traffic has no way of competing.
