[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't drive your car on busy , multi-use streets after dark if your vision has declined to where it is difficult to see bicyclists or pedestrians.  It is an accident waiting to happen when you cannot see someone legally using a crosswalk at 5:30pm after work, or a bicyclist in the bike lane at 5:30pm after work.  This is actually not meant to be snarky- many of us, as we age, suffer from reduced ability to see our surroundings in the dark and if this is you, you need to take some responsibility for yourself and not drive a 2 thousand pound vehicle at 30mph through intersections where you cannot see clearly.  Use public transport, or walk. [/quote]

This is nonsense.  Why is it that massive cars are obligated to use multiple types of lights so that they are visible, but pedestrians have no obligation to do anything to make themselves visible?  [/quote]

Because of a pedestrian bumps into me while I'm crossing the street, I don't die instantly. [/quote]
