Oh but wait a minute. I started a thread on here like this a few days ago and what I learnt was from the posts is that if I run over one of these unlit cyclists, then its my fault. I have lights on my car that I should see them with, or I am driving to fast to stop, regardless where they come from, what they do, or what they are wearing.
After all its not the unlit cyclists responsibility to keep safe, its the drivers responsibility to keep the cyclist safe. Because cars kill cyclists and bikes dont kill drivers.
Figure that one out
They should be lit!And if it were a deer?

"These horrible incidents would not happen if motorists drove with greater care and anticipated that Dartmoor grazing stock regularly wander on to the roads."

Oh come on, megaphones are cheap as chips these days and have much improved battery life over the old days . There really is no excuse for going to the pub without oneWe are up against people operating dangerous machinery in public at the limit of their ability to process visual information. It is akin to trying to talk in a crowded noisy pub where it gets louder and louder but no more easy to make out the conversation you are part of.
