well if you can see a small bike without lights on then there is NO need for cars to have them on
True, but my point being that drivers' awareness is the problem, not lights. For someone not to see a moving object, be it a car, truck or bike, in broad daylight, they probably shouldn't be driving.
How people get into cars and don't take road awareness seriously I do not know. I see people every day be all "lah dee dah" in a car, completely unaware of the 1.5T battering ram they're in control of.
Maybe everyone should spend a day working under a motor and carrying parts to see just how heavy these things are, and why they should be a little more careful. A young female driver (as an example only) in a bright pink fiat 500 looks at it as a pretty, cute, wonderful thing, not as a tonne of brute stopping power for poor Mr Teutul on his bike.
Bad example. Paul Teutul on a chopper would destroy a Fiat 500, she'd be worse off! But you get the point.
