To hate with a raging passion those flashing cycle lights

[turnaroundtime]

Why in anyone's God's name are those things allowed. They are so bright and distracting that if some one walked out in front of my car I wouldn't see them due to being blinded by an oncoming cyclist with their flashing strobes of death.

I saw a cyclist the other day and he had a high vis jacket on (rarity for cyclists) and it was so much better for visibility than those flashing lights which i find hard to.judge the distance and distracting

Not a rarity for cyclist where I live, very ordinary in south london.

@sleepismyhobby

They were never legal to be on flashing mode on the road use

You didn’t read the thread did you

If you had you’d already know you’re wrong 🙈

Get yourself a copy of the f the Highway Code!

@daisymade

I have one for running, the dogs have them as well. In my defence, we live rurally in the middle of nowhere so I'm pissing of relatively few drivers, but also in my defence most of the people who drive on the roads around here are cockwombles using them as a rat run to the a road or to the pre school and actually they could do with a bit of blinding from time to time.

I’m a cyclist and I agree with you. I always have my lights on as a solid beam, I don’t use the flash function at all. When I bought them, it said on the pack not to use them on the flashing mode. Not quite sure why it was included if that really is the rule! I find the flashing mode really annoying too.
