Daytime running lights

All UK corporals have university degrees and ~10 years experience, do
they?

Oh, and I didn't say that I only deal with the US Army. I have some
British army colleagues (who, incidentally, couldn't function /at all/
without the US support they get).

 

Anyone that's worked with merkins knows the value of a US 'college'
degree. Only once they've done a masters are they actually qualified
to do anything.

When you're riding with the setting sun behind you full beam is a good
way of making yourself invisible.

 

The point is that strangely enough the requirements of a light by which
you can be best seen, and identified as to speed, distance, etc. are
quite different to the requirements of a light which it is best to see
with. The plod used those running lights. The problem wasn't that
Lucas didn't know that bikes had headlight switches, they just didn't
realise how ignorant most riders were about this question. That
ignorance is the reason we're now so far into the Light Wars, with
every vehicle striving to be more noticed by blasting out more light
than anyone else. Morons. It wouldn't surprise me if some of today's
"best" lights are close to the retinal damage threshold.

 

Getting on a motorcycle is a good way of making yourself invisible[1]

[1] To everybody apart from plod.

 

That really doesn't surprise me...
