I ride a lot on a path without motor traffic. It might be an ideal place to see the problems of blinding light, since I often suffer it. Maybe a cyclist ought to get a taste of his own medicine. But some people seem to tolerate it better than others. And it may even be worse for a motorist than for me to have a light like that in the eyes. I often check the top edge of my beam and make sure it's at the neck or below. But I suspect I'm more mindful than the average bear.
