Summary: California highway (152)

I, personally, don't drive with my headlights on during the daytime,
but I'm sure that it certainly wouldn't hurt from a safety standpoint.
Here's one case in point:

There's a highway in central California (California 152) which has
become one of the most accident-prone highways in the state.  The
statistics became so bad that, a few years ago, the state decided
to require that all vehicles traveling on that road (day or night)
have their headlight turned on.  I don't have any detailed figures,
but apparently, this practice has dramatically reduced the number of
accidents that occur on that road.
