Motorcyclists drive with headlites on to increase their visibility. If everyone has their lites on, it reduces the effect for them.

If it was against the law, then GM wouldn't have a switch that allows you to turn them off.

Wouldn't that cause wear on the e/brake. By even clicking it one notch - will that engage the brake?

To start with, it is not against the law to not have DRL on your car, it was a safety and insurance thing.
With my 2006 Silver you can turn them off anytime you want to.
Now with that being said, I found a webstie telling you how to take care of the DRL's.

P.S.
I did this last night and it worked just fine.
Bringdanoisemikl, here's how you do it!
GM fullsize trucks 96-98'. At the bottom of the dash about where your right knee is there is a small bulge. Under this bulge is a 2" square finned relay (actually a 2volt drop diode) Use pliers to bend retaining bracket. Remove and unplug.

Your logic would perhaps be good if the purpose of DRLs was to make a vehicle stand out from other vehicles, but that's not the purpose. The purposeof daytime running lightsis to make a vehicle be more visible relative tothe background. If every two and four wheeled vehicle has DRLs,that fact won't cause those vehicles to blend into the background. It just means that all vehicles will be more visible relative to the background than if they didn't have the lights.

If you can't see a car or truck coming at you without the headlites on during the day, you probably shouldn't be driving.
