I hate to bring them up again but cyclists, not all cyclists just the inconsiderate ones who use those flashing lights. Should be banned IMO
Really? I was think of getting one of those as they are really visible. Why do you think its a problem? |

When you're following one with flashing lights it is very distracting especially if you are being a considerate driver and waiting for an adequate place to overtake. Just get bigger lights if you want to be more visible. Oh and this goes for flashing front lights too. |

Lol. What's up with the flashing lights? I was just sat behind 2 cyclists at a set of traffic lights. They were 2 abreast and the flashing lights were driving me mad. Simples, ban them. |

All normal battery lights are crap, think I'm 100% gonna get a flashing light if it means you're deffo gonna see me. Had too many close calls in the last 6 months for my liking. |

I thought flashing lights were against the law, or at least the highway code.

Flashing lights are much safer because however bright you have your lights - they're always going to be more visible if they're that bright and flashing They stopped being illegal a long time ago - I saw a reference from 2008 saying they weren't illegal anymore - but according to one source the flashing was never the issue. The law was that you used to have light bulbs; the flashing lights were illegal because they were LED's and the law got changed when it was shown that LED's were at least as bright as bulbs. |

We don't use flashing bulbs on cars or motorbikes. We seem to manage. |
