And if you have a rechargeable light system, and it has enough runtime to use it in the daytime, go for it.
Excellent.
It works so well that there used to be many cars and motorcycles built with lights that stay on all the time. I think there still are a few. There are places (like construction zones) or other places where you must put your car headlights on. From driving a motorcycle in traffic and having exactly the same visibility problems as a bicycle for 30 years, I can say it
has worked for me. It probably saved my life a couple of times.
