So what do you suggest, meic?
That if you want daylight lights on your bike go ahead and have them.
If you want to disable the DRLs on your car go ahead and do so.
So what do you suggest, meic?

There is perhaps a possibility that drivers behaviours would change as they had to work harder to see cyclists and be more attentive as a result.
I sense exasperation, meic. Sorry.

lights that would do any good would be very powerful and therefore not last long, would have to be pointed directly ahead to beam to the car/lorry drivers eyes?

I know others will disagree (fair enough) but I also believe that in daylight if you want to be noticed you will have more visual impact with clothing than lights.

Or possibly think of them as Thank...U...Thank...U for being aware of me filtering through and leaving me the space
