Do you use your lights in the day light hours

[Sharky]

Yes. Ever since being airlifted to a hospital following an incident when a driver turned in front of me.

 

[Drago]

I've been T boned at night with my lights well and truly lit.

Perhaps a lucky rabbits foot?

I sometimes carry a 4 leaf clover.

 

[growingvegetables]

Nope, except in poor visibility, or in the half-light period after sunrise/before sunset. And I resent the DLR "arms race".

 

[summerdays]

Sometimes but if my lights are on during the day it's because of poor weather conditions or light (for example in the city centre in winter when going in and out of deep shadows created by buildings).

Only if it's very foggy.

Otherwise if it works and makes you more attention-grabbing, you're basically playing beggar thy neighbour at the expense of other cyclists and people walking, but if it doesn't, you're an ugly nuisance giving motorists the opportunity to claim they were dazzled if they strike you or someone else.

What do you do where it's mandatory to have lights on during the daytime then?

I find that cycling everywhere while wearing a sequined ball gown, or dressed as a jester, seems to get me noticed.

 

[Hacienda71]

Rear light if foggy. Other than that no.

 

[tyred]

My winter fixed wheel bike and my hub geared mountain bike have hub dynamo and LED lights and I never bother to switch them off but I never bother with DRLs on any of my other bikes. I don't think it makes much difference.

Carrying a three foot No Entry sign didn't work for me. Nor a set of traffic lights.

[QUOTE 4671139, member: 9609"]I will switch my rear flasher on if I have to venture onto a fast road, other than that no - i generally stop to let others pass.[/QUOTE]
What would you class as "a fast road". A what killed the cat question.

Luckier than this?

 

[Lonestar]

Yes.If the cars and buses have.Also when it's raining.

Respect to you, and others, riding in fog. I'll ride in any weather .... EXCEPT fog; just don't have the bottle.
