Runners/bikers at night without lights or reflectors

You'll feel pretty bad if you hit them, I bet. Especially if they total your car.

They should be pulled over and given a tix.

I was a couple feet away from hitting a biker just now down a dark arse service road. No reflectors or anything. frick that guy

To all you drivers who speed through my neighborhood as a cut-through to avoid the light on the boulevard,

And FWIW when I walk the dogs when it's dark (every day this time of year), I put a reflectorized backpack on them.

The first thing I do when I buy a new bike is remove all reflectors and anything that adds unnecessary weight.

A man and a woman routinely walk/jog along a state highway near my home while wearing camouflage jackets. The roadway has a very narrow shoulder and long portions of it are shaded by the wooded tracts along the route. They are out there during daylight hours but I'm often right on top of them before I can see them. Idiots!

You'll feel really bad after you hit them and they or their estate sues you for negligence and wins a metric frickton in damages.

Serious question- if a runner/biker is out at dark in dark clothing on the roadway with no light or reflectors, someone hits them- is th driver at fault?

Don't know....but imagine you had a couple beers with dinner and hit them.

shite could get real all because some idiot isn't seen.
