Out in the sticks in a hard rain before sunrise this morning. One car was approaching me over a long slow rise in the road - which caused his (dimmed) headlights to be hard in my vision for a lengthy period!
The wet road, the center and shoulder lines - all disappeared.
A small portion of the white fog-line is visible right next to my scooter thanks to the glow of the LIKE's little 5W amber running light.
I guided on that little patch of amber light!
Those two little running lights are surprisingly bright on a pitch dark night!

also, I've lost a good % of my left eye's vision over the past few yrs

No shame in stopping until they've passed Stig. Just a thought.

Glad ya found a way Major.
Always easier to ride when you can see.
+1 to Neil's note though. No shame in stopping if ya hafta.

I did stop the other night coming into Yellow Springs.
Combination of no street light, car headlights, shoulder may have parked cars....and I saw "something" ahead.
I stopped dead, car passed by...and ahead of me on my side of the street was a woman with her back to me walking in the road with a dog. She had a penlight in her hand aimed in a 6" spot on the pavement.
The speed limit in Y. S. is 25mph....still could have been ugly.

Bet like most of us Stig, that 6th sense has saved you more than once?
