Nah. Let's not extrapolate the logic to the point of absurdity? I once met a guy oncoming on the bike path at night who was on a motorcycle. He saw me oncoming, slowed to ~15 mph, and then wicked it up again when we were past each other. He was probably thinking: "Geez, I hope that's not a cop, but why would it be?" while I was thinking: "THAT is a proper headlight, for a bicycle..." Technically illegal, but the guy was at least being safe-ish about it.

But hey, I'm willing to walk that back a bit too. My local law doesn't allow Class 3 on separate paths, only in streets or roadside bike lanes. Fine.
