THE CURRENT MODEL (2006-PRESENT) HONDA CIVIC HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. ALL MODELS ARE EQUIPPED WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, AS WELL AS A DASHBOARD THAT IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED. THESE TWO FEATURES COMBINED AT NIGHT FOOL DRIVERS INTO THINKING THAT THEIR EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON, WHEN IN FACT ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, AND AT REDUCED POWER. I HAVE NEARLY HIT ONE OF THESE CARS BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ITS LIGHTS ON. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE HONDA TO MODIFY ALL CARS TO EITHER GET RID OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS OR INSTALL AN AUTOMATIC LIGHT SENSOR TO TURN ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON AT DUSK. *CN
