My only point was that it might help people see bikes better.
Remember that auto promotion of day time lights where they showed the 1 light them 2.
The 1 light seemed to be moving really slow like an optical illusion. But with 2 lights it was easier spot and to tell how fast it was moving. Like trains people miss jusge their speed too.
Just trying to help.
The accident happened at night does that say anything lights or no lights driver don’t care about motorcycles. they need to start looking out for motorcycles . we have the right to ride just as they have the right to drive.
I am beginning to think Motor Cyles need some colored light during the day time because it is really hard to see them.
I use to ride and luck it was not me in a wreck just like that so many times cars just whipped out and put me in the ditch.
Would a colored light like yellow during the daytime help people see the motor cycles??????
I think the person driving the car should have been arrested for killing a biker. There are just too many of us riders out ther for an excuse that they didn’t see us.
