I understand that permanently illuminated headlights are a feature on
the vehicles of certain operators like Arriva. They found that keeping
the headlights switched on all the time reduced accidents so it is being
done for health and safety reasons.

However, it is actually dangerous for other vehicles because it
artificially (subconsciously) distracts attention towards that vehicle
only, and away from others.

Daytime headlights should either be a legal requirement or switched
off.
