blinkin’ obvious
indicator lights on cyclist’s helmets using the new 3D movement recognition technology. | |
it can be very difficult to predict what a cyclist is going to do even in daylight as their arm signals are often misinterpreted, hidden by other traffic, lost in the driver’s blind spot or even non-existent.
as a motorist, I am very careful of cyclists, as they look and are very vulnerable but careful
as I am, from their perspective, I am just a crazy uncaring roadhog.
these cyclist helmets are equipped with lights both back and front and different movements produce different indicators.
several quick nods to the left will indicate left and a nodding head to the right will indicate right. stopping lights can be achieved by bending the head backwards. perhaps even a “gonna overtake that damned ice-cream van if it kills me” could be a full-on single beam.
two light shakes of the head will produce the traditional “thank you” as a reward for considerate driving.

How about leds on rings, so that when you put your hand out a turn indicator comes on? |
|
| |
That or you'll have a street full of dizzy cyclists... : ) |

Show me a cyclist who signals at all, and I'll show you one who'll use this. |

I once got mown down by a very polite
driver who turned left across me (this is
in the UK). She said that she thought I
was turning left too. When I pointed
out that I hadn't ****** indicated left,
she said (and I kid you not) that cyclists
always turn without indicating. There
was a bizarre logic to that. |

Forget signaling, I've never seen a cyclist obey any traffic rules; stop lights, one-way signs, etc.; at least in NYC. |

Yeah, same here. If the light's on red, they use the footpath. |
|

fess up, who voted for mowing down cyclists? |
|
| |
angel, they're much more brazen down here. |
