That's a good point about how two lights side by side could appear as a car in the distance. Though to be clear, I don't want or think two would be ideal. I'm happy with one - one powerful one that...

In your case, is the cost of the car for the little use worthwhile? People are saying to me "try your bike idea, but keep your car - you'd be stupid not to". My big objection to that is, even if it...
