mate i'm glad you love blinding other road users
a lot of people are photosensitive
you can create huge blind spots in their vision
causing crashes
in my humble opinion this is a dangerous thing to do
just my opinion

cheers

Roadcraft is simply how you ride on the road to survive. The choices you make about your level of risk are entirely up to you... however one would hope that riders of experience do not display squid tendencies when others of lesser experience may be observing and become emboldened to copy higher risk activities.

do you use another lane when you overtake another vehicle?I use the same decision makeing process as part of my roadcraft to use another part of the road in my navigation of a windy road.
If you use another lane to overtake another vehicle your arguements against using another lane as part of your chosen line along a curvy road are invalid.

Yea? You think most accidents happen because the driver knows he's gonna hit someone else, and does it anyway?:norton That's not how it works. More often than not they think that the coast is clear, but it isn't. They think that any oncoming traffic will be doing close to the speed limit, but they're not. They take a quick look and fail to see another vehicle, or more likely they assume there isn't a vehicle there when there is.

Of course. That's why the "Baby on Board" placards were invented and sell so well.:D

Way to represent :asshat

If you feel the need to be a dick while riding you should give up riding IMO.

I'm crushed, since your opinion means so much to me.
Riders handbook here for licensing says to run your high beams during the day to make yourself more visible to other drivers.
Doubt that my high beams are going to blind you from WV to Oz at any rate.

Whatever happened to taking some pride in having skill and riding with precision and being smooth? :dunno

Unfortunately that BS practice of running with your high beams on during the day is endorsed by at least one State...

Headlight

The best way to help others on the road see your motorcycle is to keep the headlight on-at all times. Studies show that, during the day, a motorcycle with lights off is twice as likely to go unnoticed by other road users. Also, use of the high beam in daylight increases the likelihood that you will be seen by oncoming drivers.

I'll take my chances at not being seen over pissing everyone off coming the opposite direction.

Ok, that's what I'll do, quit riding because you said so.
The headlight on my LC4 isn't going to blind anyone. Not even at night.

Not like I'm running a pair of HIDs or have a nightsun strapped to my bars.
Lighten the fuck up Nancy.
