Transport Canada doing something about one of my pet peeves

It’s not another law. The law is to have your lights on after dusk.
The regulation is that new cars are to be equipped with automatic lights.

This is a good thing.

Yes, I guess you are right. Simpler, cheaper, more reliable is better.

New cars now to be equipped with manual choke, manual timing advance, manual gear shift, manual crank windows, manual door locks, crank start, unassisted brakes and/or steering,

^^^no, see post #37.

Simpler, cheaper, more reliable is better.

About time

My daughter's 1999 Vitara tin can has auto headlights but my loaded 2014 Grand Caravan doesn't. Go figure...

Ya my 15 town and country had auto lights but my 17 grand caravan doesn’t. They say it’s not an available option on the dodge vans....

Another issue they might want to consider is the turn/brake lights on some of the new cars are too low in the bumper, not at eye level, and some Turn/brake lights blend in to the other lights, making them harder to distinguish.

Yes, I noticed that on the Kia SUVs as mentioned in the link you posted. Seems very silly to do that in the name of style when you have perfectly good lights up higher that could also be turn signals.
