Riding with lights on

[90s]

no i dont because i dont want cars to move over or panic i just want to be left to do my own defensive riding i dont need cars spitting the shit up off the side of the rd just because im behind them. iv had a cop pull me up and tell me he couldnt see me and to turn light on in the middle of the day which was another purfect reason to keep it off

Defensive riding = making people aware of you, ie. lights on?

And keep the light off because:
a) a cop asked you, therefore you want to "stick it to da man"; or
b) you think you are invisible from cops with the light off?

lights on all the time, and high beam on when lanesplitting accompanied by right indicator.

As a commuter-by-car I hate that high-beam thing.

In daylight we can still get dazzled by high-beam of another vehicle.

If you come up behind me and I look in my rear view mirror* and get a bit dazzled and drift a little to the right you haven't helped yourself.



(* I do that, to keep an eye out for splitters so I can make sure I stop reading my paper while drinking my coffee and shaving until they are past me.)
