Flashing froint lights

You can now buy personal flashing lights. Since, as we are taught
here, flashing lights make you safe these may become essential to
those living in California, where it is understood that flashing
lights are necessary to protect lives.

Think if it! Your very own flashing lights to keep you safe in even
the most intimate situations.

(I initially misspelled the word "situations" and my spell checker
suggested "scintillations". However, I thought that perhaps some do
not scintillate when intimate , so corrected it :-)

Soon, everyone will be wearing flashing LED lights and getting a
"light shower".

Perhaps with a little more research they will be found to reduce the
tedium of being trapped in traffic which will make them de rigueur for
L.A. drivers.

On second thought, I wonder if they would be a reasonable excuse for
running over bicyclists? After all, My eyes were blinking sounds so
much more adequate then, "I dint see 'em".

I don't think so. Claiming "I didn't see the bicyclist" is only
useful if one has fairly normal vision. Presumably, you're not
wearing one of these rave glasses:

For those who have never been to a rave:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=rave+lights&tbm=isch>

I'm not worried about automobile drivers with flashing eyelids. It's
cyclists who are convinced that the lights will improve their
performance that worries me. One easy way to tell if the lights work
is if the UCI bans them as "optical doping".

I believe that in most US states, driving blindfolded is illegal.

To be honest I drove for a short period after my cataracts were really
badly effecting my vision. But one of the problems with failing vision
is that you have, at least in my case, literally years to get used to
it. The results are that right up to the time that you are nearly
blind you feel that your vision is normal.

After having a cataract removed there is a short period where the
vision in that eye is so blurry that you just don't use it, but about
a week after the operation you can use the eye and it is amazing how
bright the colors are. And the detail! My God! I can see all the way
across the road!

That is not to say that everyone that hits a cyclist has cataracts but
having experienced it I can see how it might happen.

Of course, people will say things like "Well, you should have known",
but how? After all your vision is just like it was yesterday.

I wonder how many jurisdictions require vision tests with each license
renewal? I know I've had to pass such a test.

Unfortunately, I once observed one very old, very confused guy renewing
his driver's license with the help of his daughter, who was a woman at
least in her 50s. The old guy kept guessing wrong when reading the eye
chart, which was contained within a countertop machine. He was also
repeatedly confused about the button he had to push to turn it on. His
daughter was pleading for them to give him a break because "He never
drives at night!"

Unfortunately, on about the sixth or seventh try he guessed enough of
the letters right, and was turned loose on the world. :-/

Even worse is when some else takes the test fothe driver. In Toronto Canada it's quite common for one Chinese person to take MANY driving tests for other Chinese drivers. Perhaps that is part ofthe reson so many don't seem to have one iota of common sense when driving?

I'm not convinced. They don't appear to be showing a steady or flashing
red light to the rear.

In California, a vision test is required only if one is over 70 years
old:
<https://www.dmv.com/ca/california/senior-drivers>
I'll be performing this ordeal process in about 3-4 months.

My vision has been slowly deteriorating for many years and I don't
know for sure if I can successfully pass a vision test. I just tried
several online vision tests showing 20/30 vision, which is good
enough. I believe that I can pass because I can now drive without
glasses. I was having astigmatism problems about 35 years ago. I
obtained corrective glasses which worked fine until about 5 years ago,
when I discovered that I could see better without them. What may have
happened is that my blood pressure started climbing about the same
time that I needed the glasses. The blood vessels in the eyes are not
equally distributed. High blood pressure will cause the eye to
distort and lose its normally spherical shape. About 15 years ago, I
started taking various drugs to reduce my blood pressure. After about
10 years of lower BP, my eyes returned to a closer approximation of a
spherical shape. Not perfect, but good enough to drive without
glasses. At this time, I only need non-prescription glasses +1.75
diopeter for reading and +2.75 diopter for detail work.

I think it may be more likely in the U.S. as I read articles about
some state "back east" investigating an accident and discovering that
one of the drivers was legally blind and with a great deal of furor
changed the licensing laws to require an eye check after an individual
reached a certain age.

Over here you supposedly are tested for driving ability, vision and
reaction time when you initially apply for a license. Subsequently one
simply reapplies and pays the fee. Thai citizens can be issued a life
time license and never have to renew it. My wife has been driving for
something like 20 years on the same license :-)

The "fisheye" (1 or 2 LEDs) lamps here that are
very common has a flashing mode as well as
a solid. So now some people have the flashing
mode on - very annoying! In Denmark it is even
more common. When it first started to appear
a couple of years ago I stopped people and told
them to use the solid state. That was when it
was very uncommon. It is still uncommon but not
uncommon enough for me to do it. Now I only
stop people who has a red light in front or the
white one to the back, or both. Immigrants from
exotic countries almost exclusively.
When I approach them they get so scared so when
they hear about the lamps they are so relieved
that was the whole thing so they change
immediately :)
