Flashing froint lights
http://tinyurl.com/y93sgm5s You can now buy personal flashing lights. Since, as we are taught here, flashing lights make you safe these may become essential to those living in California, where it is understood that flashing lights are necessary to protect lives. Think if it! Your very own flashing lights to keep you safe in even the most intimate situations. (I initially misspelled the word "situations" and my spell checker suggested "scintillations". However, I thought that perhaps some do not scintillate when intimate , so corrected it :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

On second thought, I wonder if they would be a reasonable excuse for running over bicyclists? I don't think so. Claiming "I didn't see the bicyclist" is only useful if one has fairly normal vision. Presumably, you're not wearing one of these rave glasses: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=light+up+rave+glasses For those who have never been to a rave: https://www.google.com/search?q=rave+lights&tbm=isch I'm not worried about automobile drivers with flashing eyelids. It's cyclists who are convinced that the lights will improve their performance that worries me. One easy way to tell if the lights work is if the UCI bans them as "optical doping". After all, My eyes were blinking sounds so much more adequate then, "I dint see 'em". I believe that in most US states, driving blindfolded is illegal. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

After all, My eyes were blinking sounds so much more adequate then, "I dint see 'em". I believe that in most US states, driving blindfolded is illegal. To be honest I drove for a short period after my cataracts were really badly effecting my vision. But one of the problems with failing vision is that you have, at least in my case, literally years to get used to it. The results are that right up to the time that you are nearly blind you feel that your vision is normal. After having a cataract removed there is a short period where the vision in that eye is so blurry that you just don't use it, but about a week after the operation you can use the eye and it is amazing how bright the colors are. And the detail! My God! I can see all the way across the road! That is not to say that everyone that hits a cyclist has cataracts but having experienced it I can see how it might happen. Of course, people will say things like "Well, you should have known", but how? After all your vision is just like it was yesterday. -- Cheers, John B. |

I wonder how many jurisdictions require vision tests with each license renewal? I know I've had to pass such a test. Unfortunately, I once observed one very old, very confused guy renewing his driver's license with the help of his daughter, who was a woman at least in her 50s. The old guy kept guessing wrong when reading the eye chart, which was contained within a countertop machine. He was also repeatedly confused about the button he had to push to turn it on. His daughter was pleading for them to give him a break because "He never drives at night!" Unfortunately, on about the sixth or seventh try he guessed enough of the letters right, and was turned loose on the world. :-/ -- - Frank Krygowski |

In Toronto Canada it's quite common for one Chinese person to take MANY driving tests for other Chinese drivers. Perhaps that is part ofthe reson so many don't seem to have one iota of common sense when driving? Cheers |

In California, a vision test is required only if one is over 70 years old: https://www.dmv.com/ca/california/senior-drivers I'll be performing this ordeal process in about 3-4 months. My vision has been slowly deteriorating for many years and I don't know for sure if I can successfully pass a vision test. I just tried several online vision tests showing 20/30 vision, which is good enough. I believe that I can pass because I can now drive without glasses. I was having astigmatism problems about 35 years ago. I obtained corrective glasses which worked fine until about 5 years ago, when I discovered that I could see better without them. What may have happened is that my blood pressure started climbing about the same time that I needed the glasses. The blood vessels in the eyes are not equally distributed. High blood pressure will cause the eye to distort and lose its normally spherical shape. About 15 years ago, I started taking various drugs to reduce my blood pressure. After about 10 years of lower BP, my eyes returned to a closer approximation of a spherical shape. Not perfect, but good enough to drive without glasses. At this time, I only need non-prescription glasses +1.75 diopeter for reading and +2.75 diopter for detail work. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
