[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really hard for drivers to see you, even if you have a headlight on your bike and a little reflector on your helmet. That just isn't enough. You need something much brighter like a reflective vest. I hate driving this time of year when the sun goes down so early because bicyclists just seem to pop out of nowhere. It is an accident waiting to happen. [/quote] Yes, cyclists should make themselves as visible as they can. But the onus is still on the driver to drive defensively and not hit people.[/quote] I think the point, which you're missing, is that the things cyclists typically do to make themselves visible at night at not nearly enough. That little light on your bike isn't very bright and those reflectors are next to useless. [/quote]
