Not absolving the driver of any fault, but some manufacturers definitely make their DRLs so bright that to the driver, it might trick you into thinking your headlights are on. Regardless, onus is on the driver.

Also, it's because in modern cars the gauge cluster comes on brighter than the fucking sun even when your headlights are off.

Also, most modern cars allow you to adjust the brightness. My wife had hers on max off the dealer lot. I never noticed it until I drove one night and was blinded. One click off max and it dropped 50%.
