Half a mile away, in the dark, on dipped headlights? When cycling it provides no benefit, and I have no requirement or expectation to be seen from half a mile away. Not even at night, on a road where speeds of 60 or 70 mph are the norm? When driving on the type of roads that cyclists typically use, speed limits and sightlines do not require me to see them from half a mile away. You cannot know that. I would refer you, though, to the case of a (female) cyclist killed on the A23 a few years ago, cycling straight across a grade-separated interchange by following the demarcation line between the nearside through lane and the deceleration line leading to a slip road. Or it might have been the line between the acceleration and nearside lanes on the far side of the junction. Being ultra-visible in such a situation is crucial - *even* during daylight hours and hi-viz kelps even on a sunny day. You'd certainly notice an on-foot police traffic officer (and his car) at that distance. Well, unless you are one of those who is opposed to the use of headlights. Perhaps you should pay a visit to Specsavers. In Nugent's case, the problems go much deeper than eyesight. Oh dear... TMS has run out of witty things to say. Some time ago, of course. He is not very bright. Cyclists are not noted for intelligence. |
