I had someone cut me off the other night.... they waited for me when I was way back, as soon as they saw I was riding a bike, they pulled out in front of/beside me with about 6" clearance. Left a nice boot-sized reminder in his rear quarter panel that the law says 3 feet of distance minimum.

First close call since I got my MagicShine headlight... I'm pretty happy with my light.
