thats the good thing about wearing it on a headband .... when a cyclist approaches, you tilt your head in the opposite direction so as to not blind him or her... another good thing with wearing a headband, is that when you are on a very dark section, you can merely adjust the headlight a bit higher, and you can then see a lot further ahead

but when you are riding in heavy traffic, and a car at a roundabout or traffic intersection seems to ignore you, stare at them head on and the first reaction that they do is slam on brakes

it is much better and much safer (as a cyclist) than mounting your light on the handlebars
