That is what happened to me, riding my bike in Sandpoint ID on a dark street at night. I had NO clue where his bike was or was going. He was coming towards me. Same thing in other situations, ALL I could see was the stupid light. He was 15 feet away before I knew what he was riding.
If the helmet light is blinding oncoming drivers or cyclists, it is because it is aimed too high.
