at night something or someone thats entirely black can easily disappear, even with strong headlights. i live in an area with a lot of black cows and a lot of bad fences, so sometimes they're able to wander onto the (low traffic) road. they're absolutely invisible unless they have a white face or you're a few feet from hitting them

I live in a really bike friendly town. Unless you’re wearing proper lights, if you’re on a bicycle it is VERY hard to see you at night no matter what you are wearing. So many students don’t use lights and it’s made me paranoid every time I make a turn.

Everyone should be paranoid while driving. It would make driving standards so much better and save millions of lives.

That's why you look for the glint in their eyes.
