Law or not, I agree with Trevor.  You are so much more visible with
your light on than not, that having it on all the time is a feature, 
not a bug.  Besides, even if it is a law, at least it costs almost
nothing to implement, unlike catalytic converters, etc.

Also, my rule of thumb for my car is "wipers on, lights on".
