[Closed] "Your light is very distracting. That's illegal"

"All those red lights mean "stop", by the way."

that was certainly a polite berating

are you always this well mannered when dispensing justice?

Maybe the OP' rear light was distracting. From the Road CC review ...

All that power brings responsibility and you don't want to be angling this light up and into the face of traffic behind you. For the purpose of testing I stuck the Moon on my wife's bike so that I could see how effective it was. Sitting a couple of car lengths behind it was very, very bright, but I found that my front light provided enough of a counter that it wasn't hazardous or blinding. That said, she did have it angled slightly downwards. Tilting it upwards, or even straight, would be a different matter. I wouldn't recommend this one for dangling on a seat pack – you can't be sure it will sit at a good angle

Perhaps not suitable for helmet mounting in busy traffic?
