ML430 MY00' with stock housing. Is there anyway to disable the DRL?
I'm the kind of person that just get in and drive. Is there a manual turn knob that I can set to disable the DRL? Reason is that I'd 6000K HID installed.
**i know there's gonna be glare and beam pattern problem or blinding issues etc. But the HID kit is free and free install.

But, you're so... ... smart about the legal part! Car accident will not affect my assets or bank account. Even if I did T-bone you and killed you in a "car accident". My insurance will cover it. Do you know "insurance" existed?

Thanks for the valuable input regarding to the DRL.

That's hilarous....
I still don't fully understand how to calculate the most appropriate liability coverage for oneself....but I faintly remember using a rule of thumb that said, your liability coverage should be at least equal to your net worth....my net worth would have dropped in the last 2 years due to falling home prices...just as for most other home owners...and I may not in fact need that high a liability coverage..
Can anyone help me understand the most correct way to calculate appropriate liability coverage....I seriously want to get this right..since lowering the liability to 100K/300K is bringing down my premium quite a bit...

Your net worth including your wife's and all of the value of your real estate and other property is a good place to start. However in my estimation that is far from enough as in many states awards can go well beyond your net worth and you could find yourself with your salary attached for all your working life and being unable to purchase anything in your name. What I do is above and beyond the car policy limits purchase an umbrella liability policy with extremely high limiits and thats not very expensive. To qualify for an umbrella most insurance companies require a high limit on the auto policy also. I believe that you have received bad info from your agent who is only looking at the short term savings not the long term liabilities

In that case, reducing the liability coverage in my case would certainly not be a wise thing to do...

you should've asked me how much my insurance coverage is ahead of time. What about 3 Million. And all it takes is hire a good lawyer and I"ll give him 40% of what I'll get from you for involving in the accident.

He's probobly full of himself
If u think ur so smart consider this
$3 million is really nothing when it comes to a loss of life
let me tell u something if u took that attitude with the wrong person it doesn't matter what ur lawyer can do if u can't breathe
I've seen ppl killed....u killed someone eh?
try this put ur best friend in front of you
have some guy pull a gun and shoot him in the head in front of you...have his blood on ur face
and then tell me if u can kill someone...
Get off the ****ing internet and grow up okay?
Stay off the road and use common sense

I agree, not a wise thing. Liability is the least expensive portion of the policy and umbrella policys are inexpensive. If my memory serves me right I pay about $280 per million for them. By buying a limited policy you are in fact self insuring for a possible big hit.Laws also vary state to state so check it out where you live.

1) I did not seek support of MBW for my own act or you call it violation of your country's law.
2) You are way off topic. Please refer to the beginning of this thread.
Your input is greatly appreciated!
