The compulsory FRONT day running lights were introduced on all new models from 2011 on, so we've had a few years to get used to it. I think the logic is that brake lights will be more obvious if rear lights are not lit.
As for using lights in the rain, no we are not supposed to have lights on in the rain. We must have headlights on if visibility is seriously reduced, and the Highway Code recommends lights if the weather is dull -- but who says we need lights in the rain?
And why do people always use headlights in town these days? The law insists on sidelights.
It has been said, the more lights the better. But this disadvantages pedestrians and cyclists. If you are likely to drive into anything not displaying headlights, then the non-motorised will get mown down.
