I am tempted however to rig up a separate bright light - maybe a blinky- with a handlebar push button switch so I can "bright-light" them a ways off, like you would in a car. Good idea, or pointless?
I think it a good idea. When I am in my truck, and going to down a two laner, if somebody got brights on coming at me, I blink. Most of the time they turn them off. But, if they don't my, high blink stays on...
