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.
...I would have punched the wanker with a 50 gazillion candle power light that was staring straight at me while I turned off the highway onto a totally dark side road recently, but I was that blinded I could not see where he was, cunt...I knew there was a bridge down the road a bit, but I could not see a fucken thing...had to wait for the white lights in my brain to stop flashing for a half minute before I could continue...
Okay folks, seems it is an issue.
Now, wtf can I do about it?
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?
Troll.
