He gets about! I was walking along Sainsburys footpath through the middle of their car park Tuesday evening when an unlit cyclist suddenly appeared coming the other way. I said, "You need to get some lights, mate" and he said something in a sharp tone. Driving home later I saw him again on the pavement menacing more pedestrians. I did toy with the idea of turning my lights off and driving as near to him as he had been to me when I was on foot, but I'm not that irresponsible. Not yet, anyway.

After a while they went on but only to sidelights and after some pressure from all of us in the car put the dipped beam on but it was still nearly dark before he agreed.
Ask him how many bulbs he can buy with his insurance excess and no claim bonus!
