Good for safety and driving round with your lights on is also good for your battery. That's why you see military vehicles doing so.

Some old bitch in my town waved me down in the street and had a go at me for having my lights on. She reckoned it dazzled people in the sunlight

All new motorbikes now have to have that feature. Most bikers put their lights on anyway in the hope that they become more visible to other drivers.
