While I do find those laser things a distraction it is only in the "there's something you don't see everyday" way (like seeing a six foot guy on a six footed horse) but that is just a fleeting moment before I just get on with riding my bike and looking out for other road users. I just don't see any point in having one. I can't picture a situation where they give the rider an advantage, in fact the only thing I do see is them giving the rider the same false sense of security as they squeeze up the inside of a line of traffic as the ASL feeder lanes give. I just imagine a gaggle of nodders happily sitting next to a left indicating tipper truck as their little green logos merrily dance away bang in it's blind spot.
