Hi Dennis:

Since Canada has had 10 years of experience, can you share with us the impact
DRL's have had on the accident/fatality rates?

The entire discussion is predicated on the concept that DRL's improve safety,
so your input (with statistics) would be very helpful.  I think Canada has
always had severe penalties for drunk driving, but if your data shows a
reduction in accidents/fatalities, are there similar factors (other than
DRL's) that could have impacted the statistics?  How about increased driver
education efforts?

Thank you in advance.
