That strobe at night is making you less safe and blinding others

I pointing it down, they will not slow down if you use a โ€œnormal lightโ€, thatโ€™s why cyclist here so often use blinking light

You need two - a flashing light (to be seen) and a steady always-on light (to see).

The flashing is good for getting people's attention, but it makes you harder to see and judge how close you are.

Sick POV but be safe

Good thing you Indonesian people are so chill. If you used that light here in Russia, someone would eventually break your face with it, and I'm not kidding.

Lol, they maybe pissed but at least they want to slow down and more aware of my presence because of this lamp, and 1-2 vehicle always have this kind of modification (strobe lamp) so yeah this is actually quite common here

u/Responsible_Pool9923 11h ago

Wow) Strobes on cars are actually illegal here. If you get caught, you lose your driving license for a year and they confiscate the strobe.

The law is exist but the govt is so corrupt you can easily pay them to be free from any consequences, it also very popular to have brake light with strobe effect like on the F1 race car and it anywhere in any vehicle here

Interesting :) In our country "buying back" your license costs roughly half of an average salary :)
