    I never said anything about them being blind.

    I'd really like to run you over too when I'm driving a cage. It would be funny to see you smeared all over the road.

    Some might say they're blind anyways..... so a bit of dazzle won't hurt except hopefully they will crash into something and die.

    A concerned motorist is complaining about how bright some cycle lights are. He's dazzled daily, apparently.

    Any thoughts?
    If you're on your bike, and you dazzle me, and in my blinded state I run you over, who gets in trouble? If it's the car driver/motorcyclist, then there's a problem. If not, I can't see a problem.

    It was only a matter of time before this type of complaint surfaced.

    LED technology has come miles in the last 5 years and is very affordable. Even shit tier chiense torches can easily blind people. Now, self righteous cyclists attach them to their bicycles with zero regard for proper alignment etc.

    The beam pattern is very focused with some of them. To the sod on the other end, it feels similar to staring into high beam HIDs.

    Most of the bikes around here are still using kerosene tilly lamps, so not really a problem.

    Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004

    8.3
    Use of motor vehicle lighting equipment on road
    (1)
    A person must not use vehicle lighting equipment in such a way that it dazzles, confuses, or distracts so as to endanger the safety of other road users.

    So, that's what the law is. I wonder how it'll go down when we start writing $150 tickets for it.

    Wouldn't that be revenue collecting?

    With light output on those fuckers approaching or exceeding motorsickle headlight power output; seems they should be subject to the same beam pattern constraints. Guess that requires a legislation update though...

    No, that'd be bloody dim. A bicycle is not a motor vehicle. Thinking like that, next thing you'll be working for the Government. Oh hang on...
