Maybe you should ask how much it sucks to keep eating gutter grates and kerbs and such. If you get these cool blinking thingies you can pretend to go vroom and be a car and then there's no more eating shrubberies.
Personally,slapping on a set of twenty dollar lighting is definitely better than no lights at night, but may tend to give one a false sense of security especially when trying to go vroom like a car. My lighting system is constantly evolving, and though investing twenty dollars in a lighting system is a step in the right direction, it shouldn't be considered the last step taken.
