Well yes, that's a bit silly, but aren't truck headlights meant to light up a bit more than two dashes ahead of you? Is the dashcam making it look dark?From my truck dashcam a short while ago. This is on an unlit 'A' road.

That's a false representation as the quantum efficiency of a camera is far less than the human eye.

I spotted the cyclist at 37 seconds, which looked like the same time you saw them. Do I win a prize?

Riding to work on the dark on Monday, was confronted by a gent with a big old CREE pointed into my face and set to flashing. Yes, I could spot him a mile off but the combination of aim, brightness and flashing was such that I had zero hope of estimating his speed, movement or direction of travel, and I was virtually atop him before my eyes could resolve that he was indeed in the same road coming toward me. His efforts to make himself safer had seriously compromised his safety.
I'm all for big, bad lights, but the manner of its use was well beyond the sensible.

Any prize off the top shelf.....
