My white lights do not illuminate anything - they are eye catchers for others.

While I agree that everyone should make themselves visible it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to have a headlight. It is LAW in Florida. Your light must be visible 500 feet away, here is the statute.

Please don't risk your assets, if you hit anyone, driving as you described it is YOUR fault. |
You should actually read the whole post before responding. A light that is visible from 500 feet does not light up everything in front of it for 500 feet. And if a dark dressed walker has their back turned, they won’t see it and the rider may not see them. If you actually read the post you’ll see the rider is compliant, but that does not guarantee the walker will be safe.
