It's funny that "handiness" isn't something girls consider when choosing a mate, but it should be.

Better to be safe than sorry, I'm sure. <br /><br />I've thought of those getting those lights, as well as the Screaming Horn (whatever that was called) but I have decided not to at this point. My bike is rather bright, being red and chrom-ey and all, so I haven't felt the need. My helmet has sparkles too, which helps with the visibility. I could always glue my crown to my helmet for more glitter. . . It goes with my Sash. :) (Hence the name. . . )<br /><br />The look cool though!

They are bright for their size that is for sure.<br /><br />Hubby was in the big cities yesterday (Portland and Salem) on his Triumph Tiger and they seems to help people back off a bit. Flashing them as a car approached too close at a light and they didn't pull up near as close at the next light. To me that is a win.<br />Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-36926624865096852132014-04-06T07:29:02.411-07:002014-04-06T07:29:02.411-07:00I agree Flyboy.

It isn't that I think hi-vis will stop an accident if indeed one ever occurs (which I hope it never will) but if it does I want whoever hit me to explain to the cops why it is they never saw me while I was weather that big swatch of hi-vis.<br /><br />Even though it is illegal to text or use a hand held cell phone when driving, drivers do it in abundance here, so if I can help them see me so they can stop quicker while they are just barely glancing up I think it is good.

When you are driving in your car and you wish to let the other driver "go first", ie: left turn in front of you, you generally flash your lights to give them approval to make the turn in front of you.<br /><br />The flashing modulator has caused many accidents as the turning driver thinks that they have approval to go first and then turn right in front of a bike, which had no intention of stopping.
