I ride also.....

....and that is why I hate DRLs.

In the old days before this stupid DRL trend, people would “see” me on my Ducati.

Now, even with my headlight modulator, people don’t notice me as much because of all the damn cars with light on.

It was never a problem. If you were on a two lane road and the visibility made it more likely that someone would pull out to pass and hit you head on because they didn’t see you, you just reached down and turned your lights on.

But this Nanny State has everyone scared of everything.

Also, I am into astronomy, and in the old days everyone could drive up to the telescopes at night and not ruin your night vision.

Now, all the damn cars have lights that can’t be turned off.

And let’s not even talk about parking under the bridge with a girl in secret.

Get off my lawn!
