Got screamed at by an old man this morning.
I was enjoying my back lane detour on a proper narrow country lane, overhanging trees and the like and it was proper dark. My Lyzne micro drive was doing a good job of lighting up the road in front. All of a sudden there's a old boy walking down the road screaming at me to look where I'm going. I was already on the right hand side of the lane and he was on left, walking facing oncoming traffic, but you could only get one car up or down the lane at a time.
I didn't have the presents of mind to reply with anything other than 'fuck off' ....
My lights are reasonable for the road IMO, but he proper appeared out of nowhere (Motorist get out of jail free card) he was wearing a workman style high vis jacket but it was proper shit and did nothing to make him stand out and anyway, if I'd been any further away from him I'd have been in the ditch.
