Do you drive with your car foglights on in the daytime?

As far as someone needing white strobes to see another aircraft on the ground.... I think not. They are a damned nuisance and you risk damaging the retinas of persons nearby, so that they are likely to look AWAY from the aircraft - which does nothing to help safety.
