Well let me add my 2 pennarth.
Whilst riding my bike to work one morning, with a bright yellow hi vis jacket, headlight on, traveling around 40 ish in a 40 limit (OK, may be a bit over) a lady driver very kindly pulled out of a side road from the right into my path when she was about 30 foot away from me.
Result, a very nice dying swan over the bonnet of her car, 2 broken ribs, broken shoulder blade & broken collar bone. 4 days in hospital & 12 weeks off work.
Her excuse, she did not see me!
DRL's what a joke, never did me any good. If drivers can not see a biker with a high vis jacket, headlight on coming towards you @ 40 MPH in broad daylight, they should have their license surgically inserted where it can induce serious pain every time they get into a driving seat.
In short, if you can not see a vehicle in daylight without lights, or if you need fog lights to see when it aint foggy, DON'T DRIVE. MY2014 SD4 XS
