Get Some F**king Lights

reading the wiki page I linked it mentions amber lights...

if this is the case why don't bicycles use amber lights to warn of their presence? I'd have thought this was the colour if any that should be used...

no i still think white would be safer. amber is a warning light for being broken down or a change in normal driving. white is easier too see i find anyway.

what gets me is when being in a car around london, you realise how many cyclists dont have lights, or only have a rear light. i was in the car with my father this evening (6.30ish) and he almost pulled out on a cyclist who didnt have a front light. he was quite obviously into his cycling and not a fair weather, so why did he not have anything on him to help be more visable to other road users. the dark coat didnt help much!

i keep seeing things recently that give drivers reasons to hate cyclists
