cyclist with no lights - for me, aint as though they cost a lot

[boxtops]

Combination of low sun and cyclists is very scary

[Captin Kirk]

motorcyclists whatever the time of year.

Volkswagon drivers

just voted D and when the votes were revealed it says no votes ... even the AB is ignoring me now.

[Answerprancer]

All of them really, I ticked D as I believe it has the edge.
More importantly IMO is that certain individuals fail to adjust their driving habits to suit the changed conditions, and 'bum rushers'.

[benny3008]

Sun dazzle definitely! driving to college the other day and had to pull over straight after i pulled out of my drive because i couldn't see for the sun shining on my windscreen! Very scary!

[Captin Kirk]

sunglasses ...

[Answerprancer]

..agreed CK - polarising ones.

[benny3008]

Nope, this was sun on my windscreen and because it had been cold the night before my windscreen was a bit condensated or something which made the sun reflect and spread across the whole screen, sunglasses wouldn't have made jacksh1t difference!

[Captin Kirk]

voted C btw not D ... still right about motorcyclists though ...

[benny3008]

whats wrong with motorcyclists?!?!

[Captin Kirk]

Heater blower does the trick.

Motorcyclists will bemoan car drivers ignorance to their plight but forget sat-nav, built in radar or physhic powers are required to know where mc will pop up next on the road. If a car is behind you in the dark you have a perspective on how far behind you they are as you can judge the distance between their headlights. MC have just the one.

The same as it is all year round, useless drivers, especially the ones who say " Sorry i didn't see you" when they hit a motorcyclist

only just read that reply ... what a knob.

He is talking about vehicles being driven without their correct lighting in operation not motorcycles with have only one light which naturally change your perception of them when approaching from behind.

"chicken"? ... great attitude ...
