Petition For Parliament
Hi all,
Not sure if I chose the right category, but let’s see.
I have Photosensitive Epilepsy but haven’t had a seizure in over 15yrs so I am able to drive. However I struggle when I see cyclists with flashing strobe lights on their bikes, coming towards me in the dark.
I have started a petition to ask for parliament to make it a rule that the cyclists can’t have light flashing above a certain frequency, as not to cause seizures.
I’d be grateful if anyone could sign it.

You can’t drive if you have had a seizure in the last 2yrs, hence why I said ‘over 2yrs’.
The cyclists need to have a light to make them visible on the roads and I assume that having the light flash is more helpful than having it steady. It’s the strobe flashes that are the problem. If you have photosensitive epilepsy and are driving along a dark road and strobe light starts cycling towards you, it’s not nice and also dangerous.
