I guess we could discuss the merits of running lights until we're blue in the face. I'm not sure if my front and rear lights are going to make a difference, but I hope they do. Regardless (and I've said it before), if for any reason I'm in a serious accident where push comes to shove and I find myself in court, I want to be able to show that I was riding in a safe and prudent manner, was wearing a helmet and had both front and rear lights on. But that's just me.
