Check your tail lights!

I saw 2 riders with no tail lights on the South/western M/way in Auck tonight when picking up my kids. So check those tail lights, stupid thing to get hit for.

Yeah was about 6.30 to 7. So dark. Hate to have a car hit somebody over a bulb.

Geez dude, it's dangerous to leave kids on the motorway!

Best thing you can do in a case like this is, if at all possible, find a way to tell them.

I've lost count of the number of drivers (and the occasional rider) I've flashed at and/or pulled over to inform them of such a condition. Without fail my actions have been met with extreme gratitude. This is probably one of the best ways we can improve our image with the cage fraternity.
