IKWYM. Doesn't the light hurt the eyes if you do switch it on. :-(
I have good night vision and it gets spoiled by cars at both night and
day, who have badly aligned head lights, or fog lamps. Do drivers assume
that their fog lamps are driving lights, because they are not yellow? On
the same subject, I get blinded by the number of drivers that are using
head lights during the day and there is nothing better to distract you,
when they start flashing their lights in your rear view mirror as they
bounce along the road. As for motorcycles, why do they drive round using
full beam? That really gives me black spots in my vision. I've started
to put mine on now, when they approach me.


AFAIK you can't buy a motorcycle in the UK where you can switch the
headlights off!

So, if you get a dodgy battery, you will never get the engine started to
self sustain the running of the systems then? How do you get it in for
repair?

Crazy isn't it? (Motorycle batteries are small and alternators
usually underspecced so flat batteries are a common problem on
motorbikes. I have to recharge mine regularly when I am not using it
much [too much DIY!]). At least mine's old enough to have a switch.

I don't know anyone who rides around on full beam.

All of them in the North West do it :-(

That's because it's dark up there near the arctic ;-)

You won't like the latest EU proposals - they want compulsory daytime
running lights for all motor vehicles.

And I thought that the we were going green :-(
Just how much carbon dioxide are we going to put in the atmosphere by
doing that :-(

Absolutely. At least our current government seem opposed to it for
once. I guess they can't get everything wrong?

If we were in the Nordic states, then I could understand it, but for the
likes of Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and the uk, what is the point
when the sun is shining? On this subject, why have indicator lights gone
from coloured glass to white glass with a coloured bulb? The sun comes
out and you (for that read me) can't see the bulb flashing :-(

Couldn't agree more.
