y it,
but that viewpoint leaves out legal and moral complications for the 
vehicle driver as a result of hurting or killing a cyclist).
  Seriously, if those afore-mentioned "jackasses" new how difficult it
is to see driving a car at night, they would have lights!

  For the record, I drive and bicycle here in Boulder. When I ride at
night, I wear a reflective bright yellow backpack, have a headlight
*and* leg light, as well as full reflectors, and I still don't feel safe
on major streets. I also avoid major streets whenever there is an
alternate side street available. I don't pass cars on the right, and
on multi-lane roads, I ride right down the middle of the right lane. 
I don't want some car passing me without changing lanes! I also do 
*not* run red lights, and I wish to hell the cops would ticket the
cyclists who do. Some jerks give all the rest of us a bad name.
