Black bike

Black sky

Black lid

No lights

Dont think theres much of a discussion tbh and imo you got to be a tad stupid to not switch your lights on before driving / riding at night

update at end of tv program.
no blame to driver cos the bikers was riding without lights.
who would ride without light at night ?. unless youve got problems then you would ride very slowly..
less in the gene pool...

Doesn't matter if it's a biker or not. If you're controlling a vehicle of any type at night and you're involved in a crash having not put your lights on, a big portion of blame is going to (quite rightly) come your way.

Question, at what age did permanent lights become compulsory for manufacture?
Ive seen literally loads of scoots riding around with no lights on, some at dusk and in bad weather and they look quite new scoots, isnt this a recipe for disaster? why arent they designed out so you cant turn them off a lot earlier if they are indeed compulsory now?
