Invisible Road Users

[Walloper]

Why do some numptys persist in driving during 'Light Up' times with only sidelights illuminated?

In poor light it is sometimes difficult to tell if they are moving or are parked.
Put headlights on dip beam. It's only another flick of the blooming switch.

And Silly Billys who drive with those fog lights on trying to look cool when there is NO fog are like the doughballs that switch on rear hazard lights for a spit of rain then forget to turn fu(kirs off.

Has this topic been addressed earlier? Sorry if this is a foosty topic.

See my earlier post about small dark blue convertibles with a background of dark green hedge.

Read it McH, but I was too tired to post a comment.
We all, I hope ride our machines with head light on to be seen by cagers etc.
Your point prompted my post. Thanks.
I wore a vest (not string) for a while then decided against it.
As it makes you look more of a twat.
I found that people would eyeball you but think "Fu(k it it's only a bike." and pull out on top of you forcing a stop.
If it was a 38ton petrol tanker they'd wait.
Bigger bikes is the answer.
3.0ltr yeh...

i cant switch dipped beam off on my bike . as for the idiots with the fog lights on all the time, when im in the car driving in opposite direction, and this works best when its really dark, give them a long hold down of the full beam. straight in their eyes to dazzle them like fog lights dazzle other road users. or if there behind me flash rear hazards on and off then ride just touching the brake pedal to illuminate the lights and accelerate off. have managed to make people switch off their fogs when doing this

I wear a high visibility vest. I look like a tw*t but hey I ride a SR125 so I am never going to look that cool. I have noticed fewer people pull out on me when I am wearing it.
I drive with my head light on at all times but have been told by a work mate that drivers find this annoying. Then again she is a bit thick so I don't really care.
