Could you do me a favour please?

Please could you go and look at how rubbish your vehicle's side lights are and bear this in mind next time you think "I only need to put my side lights on"

And while you're at it check that all your lights are functioning correctly.

Thanks

    Checked, adequate as parking lights and on road with street lights at night.

    Thanks

    Its not that long ago that someone on this forum was complaining about drivers using their headlights during the day :p

    I for one would rather see the light on than not see the car and usually have my dipped headlights on full-time at this time of year as I don't think side lights are enough.

    Its not about seeing, its about being seen.

    My sidelights aren't rubbish, they're actually really bright and really good :j

    It's fine and legal to drive with only them on as long as it's a 30mph with street lights

    I never use my sidelights so I don't really care whether they are rubbish or not.

    Done.

    The sensor takes care of when the lights go on and off. Its doing a pretty decent job of it so far

    2,000,000,000 lumen LEDs work a treat. Who needs headlights.

    I always use my headlights and never just the sidelights.

    Mine seem adequately bright also ;)

    So much easier to see than those cars parked with no lights on that I manage to avoid without too much trouble :D
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
  • I consider myself cool and a bit of a rebel! Therefore I don't use my headlights, just sidelights and fog lights at the same time. That'll show 'em

    Maybe get your eyes tested! If you can't see a big car with sidelights what chance has a cyclist got?
