Daytime running lights (DRLs) are increasingly offered as standard on
new cars. Most motorcyclists ride with lights on in the day. LED
technology now means that DRLs are an option for cyclists. Cyclists
can display flashing front and rear lights that, according to
manufacturers, make them visible from a mile away. Some lights even
have a field of vision that exceeds 180 degrees.

There is no point being seen from a mile away.

It is only necessary to be seen a short distance away, no further than
the distance covered during the other road user's attention span.
Studies have shown that DRLs can reduce accidents by 19% and injury
causing accidents by 47%.

On which planet is this? Add this to the 80% for helments, we'll be
quids in.

What is this "helment"?

A region in Aghanistan?

Something else?

Anything at all?
