Strobe Lighting?

[Zed6]

Relating to the thread, about how to get noticed on the road while riding, what are the penaltys for riding with strobe lights? say I was to get them in purple or amber or green?

something like this:

Strobes = Illegal.

Ride to the conditions. Generate an excllent sense of hazard awareness. Sit upright approaching hazards. Be ready to stop - always. Calculate risk.

Ya I know there illegal, but whats the fine? are there any points? etc?

[BorderHooner]

who cares what the fine or points are - it's a fucking ridiculous and chavtastic thing to even consider.

If your serious - step away from the bike and buy a chavved up corsa. Much safer if we account for the time it'll spend off the road having it's bling modifications.

They'd look great on a battered Mk3 Escort or Wideboy Astra with a massive wail tail.

Do you wear trakkies down the pub?

how is it 'chavvy'? you cant associate everything after market 'chavvy' Im not thinking it will look cool, but will help being spotted on carrageways, motorways etc.

You are honestly too thick to figure out what the fucking problem is with putting a STROBE LIGHT on your bike?!?!

You sir, are a complete div.

Actually.. it's a bit of a grey area..

the laws surrounding Vehicle Construction and Use state that a vehicle that would benefit from increased visibility can be permited to display flashing amber lights, but that the lights must be visible around 360 degrees of he vehicle.


You might want to clarify this, but you could, technically, argue thaat when you're filtering on a motorcycle, you would 'benefit from increased visibility'.


I'd not chance it tho.. not without doing a LOT of reading.

Any sane motorist would consider a flashing amber to be a turn signal....
Far more likely to get you knocked off than NOT....

The fact it says "ONLY FOR SHOW" in the title should be a large hint that they are not legal.... Also a total lack of anything that says they are legal is a big hint....

Rite lad's its official , this site will be full of idiots like this guy over the coming summer months , they come with there tracky bottoms , Reebok classic and they just wana pimp thr scoot lyk knw wht i meen.....



I hate people like this , theses are the people who give bikers a bad name , mate you are best off sticking your strobe lights as far up your arse as possible ,I will admit some lights/strobes look cool on show bikes but for road use there is no need for them , I think the title says it all "not for road use"
Go out, forget trying look like a Christmas tree on wheels and spend the money you were going to spend on the strobes on getting your self some better kit or something , the money will be much better spent that way.

Go figure Zed6 .......
