The freedom to extend your fist, stops at another's nose. You chose to get on the bike. Your freedom is no more important then their's.

non argument. just because someone takes additional steps to make them more visible to other motorists does not mean that they are not still paying attention to what is going on out there.

that's like saying that wearing sandals is safer than wearing boots because you're going to have a false sense of security while wearing boots....

I get your point.

I just don't know if it does any good. People pull out in front of cars everyday too.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but what about headlight modulators? I've seen them used around here quite a lot.

Use the low beam. It just pisses people off when you have the high beam on. If someone does not see the low, they are not looking and sure aren't going to see the high.
Part of your job for you to drive defensive..not offence.
