That's silly. Daylight is much brighter than a AA-battery flashlight, but if you look right at the flashlight, you'll go blind for a bit. High beams are not simply brighter headlights--they are aimed above the ground and right into the eyes of oncoming drivers.During the day when the DRL's are on, having them on at full power wont blind drivers because daylight is much brighter than your DRL's/high beams
