Keeping ya lights on...

[p.dath]

WTF....Would be seen head on also, do you not think?..

Oh yeah, good point!

[one fast tl1ooo]

Everyone rides with light on in our group, 10-15 of us

Ever thought that running with lights on encourages people to look ONLY for lights - and then say that because you didn't have lights on - they couldn't see you

That would seem to be a problem only for the people who don't have their lights on. I am not one of those people.

I find as I'm riding along I tend to notice cagers who have their lights on (during the day) more often. It could be some subconsious thing that associates headlights during the day with bikes, so I'm always on the lookout.

My headlights are permanently on.

I always ride with my lights on and even on occasions during the day, especially low sun behind me, will ride with my High Beam on. Not when following other vehicles closely but I figure that it will be more obvious to other drivers and if it irritates them, at least they can see me!!!

especially low sun behind me, will ride with my High Beam on.

A sort of "double blind" effect for the cager huh..?

I think that many road bikes have their headlights permanently on now.

yeap mine are on all the time cant turn them off,
Does any one know if this new law applies to cars as well??

[Markw336]

i think alot of bikes/scooters have there light permanantly on now because its becoming a safety feature but i think drivers could get annoyed by lights being on not sure what do you guys think

[dblancer]

I never ride without it on, especially since my bike is jet black.
its a very bright light and I like it that way
People still dont look sometimes, so u gotta be perceptive!

Afew years ago I did a "Petes Postie: run around Tauranga for a few months. The Hi Viz vests we had to wear made us stand out far more than the scooter lights ( which are usually mounted quite low on scooters anyway). Logic would suggest that Hiz Visibility coloured helmets would stand out like dogs balls, but who would wear one??

I have always ridden with my lights on so it has never worried me.

[nothingflash]

I often see tractor (harley)riders without lights on down this way....still believe it should be compulsory for all road user's to have lights on

We noticed around the Raglan area on holiday last week that there are signs everywhere along the lines of "lights on - at all times" - not a legal sign but more of a suggestion. I might chuck the job in and by me an automotive battery shop up there... kah-ching!
