If everybody steered toward bright lights, with a zillion cars running with the brights on all the time, it would be mayhem out there.

Cars run their brights a lot. I can say that 1 out of every 20 to 25 cars got their brights on. Also, 25 cars can pass in a matter of seconds, or less. So, bright lights coming from cars is a reality. Now, people want to regulate bicycle lights?? I know I am missing some of the cards out the deck, but I be dam if I am missing that many!

Also, show me the results of bicycle with bright lights killing people in cars? I can show a lot of cars killing people on bicycles, where is the beef to the argument against bright lights on bicycles???. Bright lights coming at me, I am looking where I am going, not at the lights. First off, looking at bright lights, is going to make me see spots, and I cannot see what it is back of the lights, so why look at them. They are not coming at me?? These are straight common sense questions.

So, all you peeps that are getting your arms twisted to look at the bright lights, try it another way, don't look!!!
LOL - even when I took drivers ed some 30 years ago, it was emphesized to NOT LOOK AT ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS. So even people with no common sense should be clued it to that if they have a driving permit!
