What about the AARP crowd? I'm not saying all cars are going to be pulling over. Even a few is enough for me to avoid that type of light when it's dark out. Use whatever you want mate, it's your life. And I hope you're not accusing socalrider of lying? BTW, the Planet Bike Blaze 2W is actually really bright at night if you're in the narrow field of light. If I had it aimed at driver eye level in strobe mode at night I wouldn't blame them for being annoyed.
