A new thing happening recently I have found is that cars seem to be flashing me when I have got my light on high beam. It is a Cree T6 and quotes 1800 lumens.
Yesterday when I was out, I stopped on a secluded pathway and had a good look at my front light from the distance drivers would see it. And yes, it is very bright.I then went the rest of the journey turning down my light when a car was coming.
Should I have to turn down my light and what is the law on cyclists dazzling other drivers? I know the highway code states that motorists need to turn down their lights when approaching a cyclist, but it is vice versa?
