I suspect this would harm the motorcyclist's night-vision in a way that a car driver is not affected due to the light reflecting off the ground and right back at them. Whereas the body of the car protects the driver from the glare.

- Scoundreller 4y agoBicycle rider with a somewhat weak top-of-helmet mounted light (maybe 100 or 200 lumens): I have a tough time telling if it's on while riding if it's somewhat bright. Zero impact to view. Can really help with retro-reflective signage, since I can point a light directly at the sign. But definitely not a blinding return.
- mfashby 4y agoI use a 300 lumen one, and it's the same, reflection is just not a problem at any reasonable distance (like over a metre)
