Re: Drivers without lights
Nearly as bad as those who drive round with their foglights on, or the popular sidelight/foglight combo, wtf is that about? :-?
Re: Drivers without lights
We should be like Sweden, our sidelights should come on when we start the car and ideally all cars are fitted with sensors so there's no need to remember to turn mainbeam on when light becomes poor or it's dark.

I don't mate ::) ::)
Volvo's yes exactly like Volvo's. They had the "Bright" idea years ago. Whoever, thought putting white LED "only" on the front....? DOH....!
Re: Drivers without lights
Strangely...i saw a volvo in all that water and rain today with NO lights on. :-?
Re: Drivers without lights
I really don't get why people drive without any lights on in bad weather conditions..........it doesn't really help your own visibility but by god it makes a hell of a difference to other road users......the amount of people with no lights on this morning was staggering !!!
Re: Drivers without lights
Agree in bad weather but in daylight? If all cars had them on during daylight then wouldn't we as bikers blend in more with our lights on and be harder to spot by oncoming traffic? Bad weather yes but leave them off when weathers good so bikes can be seen easier :)

Sorry Jackie, that's precisely what we don't want, Dan's alluded to why (and people like MAG are fighting proposals for it) - we'd just blend into the traffic and disappear :( we're invisible enough to most dopey morons in cars already and if our one main distinguishing feature is lost amongst all the other road users.... We're doomed, doomed I tell ye!
Some have asked why so many so many car drivers don't put their headlights on in poor weather... I'll spell it out for you: IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE ****ING STUPID! >:(
