Speel Cringe, while I have every respect and sympathy for you on your bike, as a driver I come across quite a few cyclists in the dark without lights. In our rural county, with no street lighting, that's incredibly foolhardy and dangerous. A couple of years ago, a young chap was cycling on a main 'A' road near us at night, no lights, and a friend's son knocked him down and ran over his head. He died instantly and the poor kid who 'did' it was totally traumatised. The cyclist was a known drug addict who was on his way to a dealer. He was riding almost in the middle of the road. A very tragic event for all concerned. If I'm passed on the pavement by someone on a bike I tend to request they go onto the road as they should. But I've had an earful of abuse many a time!
