As far as them being bogus I guess all of the military & police and

Yeah, the Police!! There's a good example.

Are those the same police that went from a single flashing red light
to what now amounts to a blinding carnival of lights on top of their
patrol car, none of which, judging by the total candlepower generated,
is even remotely LED driven. Holy Christ! Those lightbars are
generating enough lumens to signal Pluto and cause more accidents than
they prevent. Drive by any accident site, late at night, with more
than two black n' whites present, and it's safer to stare directly
into the sun!


You are not joking either. I find passing them quite difficult and
potentially dangerous.

Don't get me on those xenon 'fings. I'd love to poke a walking stick through
every one of those that I come across!

I just cannot understand why they are allowed. **** you, I'm alright seems
to be the mentality.
