It's only because new bikes have the lights on permanently that it's up for discussion. I'm glad that my 2002 zzr still has the lightswitch and the non-digital dash.. . Just need to get a hazard light switch fitted. I can't believe that the bike doesn't have one as standard. Luckilly the Datatool-3 has a hazard light option which came in handy when rescuing Mrs. K. when the car died.
A friend has a kit car and you'd be suprised at what the rules allow. He didn't fit a windscreen because if he did, he'd have to fit wiper blades as well. on the MOT your headlights need to be working, correctly aligned etc. His solution? Don't fit them. Still road legal, just restricted to daylight running.
Same with his normal car. He was using it as an impromptu van for a while so had disconnected the back seats from the mounts. Didn't have time to re-fit them so simply took the seats out. No seats therefore no requirement to have them secure in the car.

doesnt bother me none if i have to have my lights on all the time. |
The only problem ive come across with using lights during the day is if you hit a bump as you approach a junction the car sometimes thinks youve flashed them to pull out.
pros & cons but its better to have the choice ____________________ We're all just born to die. So lets have some fun

Some eejit politician thinks they can wangle a bit of legislation like that in? So you can be prosecuted for moving a switch on the bike all the way to the right?! Alternatively, it'll give the police even more scope to pull people - Oh, your tail light is out, we'll have to stop you! Never mind the fact that it might actually be safer with it off.
I really do wish politicians would do proper research or listen to truly independent, knowledgeable advisers before creating legislation. Most of the time, the legislation they are creating doesn't even have public support; by the people for the people? ____________________ I must not be a troll...

Under these circumstances, enough opinions and evidence to suggest appropriate use is best, why would we need our government to step in and take our choice away?
I disagree with several recent laws forcing peoples hands. We are all intelligent beings. Why should we not be able to choose appropriate use?
Why should the government nanny us like this? I like my personal freedom, why should someone else decide these things for me? Why should I be fined for disagreeing with someone on an issue like this? ____________________ Travelling around the world...a bit at a time. Where am I now? / Visit my BLOG
