I would think I would just avoid looking directly into someone else’s light for a bit would be acceptable as you realize they are doing it for their safety.
Perhaps I don’t ride in enough city traffic to understand.
When they blink and the background is dark, it is very difficult to follow where the light is going to be so you don't look at it. And once you do your vision is full of green splotches making it unsafe for you to continue riding.
So I can understand not wanting to trade my safety for another's.
