Rear lights: which is best, continuous or flashing?

[guerney]

They certainly look interesting

If these flashers aren't heavy enough to make the springs sag, these could turn into indicator lights. I'll have to find some which just flash red:

This drunk wandering fool didn't know I was approaching until I beeped my Honitt 140db. If he hadn't changed direction and if I had swerved, the passing car might have caused me bodily problems. It's well worth 20 pounds IMHO.

No gloves ?

No gloves ?

It was a very warm night, and I'd forgotten! Now I keep my gloves velcroed to the bike handlebar.

While I wardriving yesterday I passed cyclist who had a flashing rear light alternating between a red light & a white light. Is this illegal or just stupid?

White light visible to the rear is always wrong unless a reversing light, properly used. That'll be law, not guidance.
