I have no problems with others lights
I’m constantly blinded by bright lights and hate night driving
Some newer vehicles are too high intensity lighting
Just hate poorly adjusted lights
I’m too busy looking at phone to notice
I’ve illegally modified my lights and dont care
I ride around on full beam not caring that people can’t see my indicators
I’m a bat and just use sonar

Lets start with those driving with no lights, park lights and DRLs, get them using low beam. Move onto the wankers that are driving around on high beam, either not caring or having no idea...

And while you are at it, them cyclists with the over-bright flashing LED front lights

I second the motion re rear fog lights. These people ussually have the front fog lights on as well,whilt not as bad as LED or HID still add lumen to the already bright lights at the front
Actually fog lights full stop. We’re not allowed to drive fast enough in nz to really need them. They really for high speed European motorways plagued by fog.
If visibility is that bad of your normal headlamps in fog your prob out driving your stopping distance anyway.
Really they are just a fashion accessory.
And yes we need to get rid of cyclist flashing strobe lights annoying as hell. I’m just waiting for population growth to get to the point where they regularly trigger an oncoming epilepsy fit in a driver who promptly crashes into them, Darwin fixes everything.

My bike came with a set of PIAA fog lamps, I think I've used them intentionally maybe twice? Once when I was returning home at night and discovered my headlight was out, maybe once more with some fog?
By some fluke of electrical weirdness though the switch on the handlebars has a green LED when off, a red one when on, which confuses me so sometimes I accidentally nudge the switch and don't realise they're on for a bit.
I added some DRLs on the handlebars as well, the bullet-type ones, they are bright and I try to remember to turn them off at night...but don't always. So overall, sorry if I've dazzled anyone accidentally.

I hereby nominate you a Nobel prize for your contribution to society. Few people realise that rear fog light especially in rain make it hard for someone doing a 13hr mission to notice their brake lights when it matters.

Not a bike thing, more a moan about a car thing.
When headlights in newer cars are set to auto, the daylight sensor in the car takes charge of the lights.
During the day, even if fog is as thick as a former prime minister I hesitate to name, the daylight sensor prevents the lights from coming on, as there enough light to fool the sensor.
It's a light sensor, not a visibility sensor.
Which partially explains the marital discord I suffer when trying to get my wife to not reply on auto headlights in her car.
Out for a ride this morning heading onto the Pahiatua Track, a 4x4 was putting his right turn blinker on and off !!!!!! Is that a thing now ???? (it wasn't just his blinker left on either.)
It was obviously a warning for me as no one else was around....
Sure enough half a K further on , there was a Police wagon, maybe a Skoda parked up !
heh heh and he gave me a wave ! nice, obviously a bike fan, and I waved back.. lol
Thru that bit I'm usually starting to get the old knee out....... Lucky me.
