Those who know.. maybe they can throw more light on this subject?
HA HA HA HA!!!! Well done. You are a Super DroidI had a local driving instructor inform me that I wasn't entitled to use the road when there was a cycle path!
Sending the video to his company expressing real concern over his ignorance resulted in his being advised of his error by his company and assurances that the trainee would also be advised that this was an error.
A couple of weeks later he pulled up alongside at the same point, glowered and wound his window up!
Flashing lights can be illegal.
Lights have to meet certain requirements, outlined in the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 (as amended), including output and frequency of flash. If they don;t meet the requirements they are not legal for use on the road in the UK. Not all lights sold in the UK meet those requirements.
No. I'd not want anything to such a low standard!.. All my bikes have at least one set of lights which are K marked. The others are just aux lights for show.Very few meet the standards. Happy to say none of mine do, and I would suspect most of us here don't have BS marked lights.

I have a concern about flashing front lights which somebody may be able to allay.
If you see a flashing white light you immediately know it's a cyclist, the problem I think I have with that is that there can be an assumption that cyclists don't go very fast therefore there's plenty of time to pull out from the junction and we know how that scenario can end.
Thank goodness for that, I thought it was just me being stupid/paranoidYou've summed up exactly why I stopped using flashing front lights.
