The car lights were dipped - it's urban driving round here - and my

He should have had a red rear reflector too, and amber reflectors on
his pedals (or yellow reflective ankle bands - the law hasn't kept up
with pedal technology). The "should wear light clothes" bit in the HC
is just a bit too much like victim blaming for some people.
