This is rumoured to be made even clearer in the next (recently-consulted-on) Highway Code edition and given some teeth and an ad campaign... but fark knows when that will be. There seems to be no hurry as there's only three times as many cyclists and walkers as in 2019 and it's only people's health...I have seen people cross the road on a 20mph limit while they were crossing some nitwit comes roaring up the road hits the brakes and screams at them to gtfo the road, ignoring the fact that a ped already crossing has priority.
But what's the point in telling them their error you get called every name under the sun as the moron is obviously correct.
As I understand it, they flash a little faster/bright when a car is approaching and beep or display to let the rider know. Presumably if it shows the car coming straight for you, then you can ride off into the ditch or hedge?I'm not sure how a radar light works any better than a regular LED light.
OK, but if you are hit or fall, then you've a mirror ready-positioned to stab your face?[...] Having mirror on my helmet is far more useful than a Garmin display. I'm not in constant fear of being hit.
