Except you introduced headlights where nobody else had. He simply stated blue can be the best. And that's accurate.
I did not disagree on the circumstances where blue could be best.
And I didn't pull a headlight out of nowhere:
So idk, try again.

Nasher's post which I replied to was made before that comment...
So? You replied to me and I quoted what I was talking about.

Right, let's be clear here.
Blue hi-vis works excellently in low light conditions. It's looking to be the best. Headlights don't necessarily alleviate low light conditions because they have directional beams therefore areas outside of this will still be in low light. Ergo...statement about headlights, even if they're on, pointless.
Yes lets be clear here.
I replied to words on blue headlights you tell me how that instance of blue is separate from the light.
ok - the relative brightness at nightime is low and even with headlights, you're in partial night vision, so pushing to blue light could still have some benefit.
eg you avert from looking into oncoming headlights, but wouldn't during the day.
I guess legally you can't have green headlights ? if they could even make an efficient bulb to do that colour, which is where the benefits of blue(->uv) with colour conversion phosphors win.
colour blindness (people of colour) might be a reason to stick to blue high viz ... everyone sees it ? https://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/
edit: coming to a modder near you HUE headlights ?

Joggers should pay the same amount of Road Tax as us motorists and cyclists pay.

I understand this subtext.

Notice how your sentence is split in two. The first half in bold followed by the and.
Ok so you ignored the connecting word and the second half but quoted the whole thing. Fine.
So are you contesting that very low light conditions required for blue to be better are bad (visibility) in general or we done. Because the second half is about the (blue) headlight removing the low light advantage of blue in the first place. As has been brought up, a green/yellow light source would be the most visible.
correcting my earlier post, re-reading the link I posted
green at ~550nm was the best for human acuity at low light conditions, so not as far down the spectrum as blue, as I'd said
so if the ambiant headlight conditions for night driving qualify as low light, then go green

Agreed, i was out on some country lanes the other week and my head torch decided to stop working. I didn't have my reflective top on as i thought my head torch would've sufficed, but for about a half mile stretch it was pretty sketchy whenever a car went past. I just had to stop and try and stand as close to the hedge as possible!

Waving "run me over"

Was driving down an A road yesterday evenig. 40mph limit. semi rural. pavements both sides, no pedestriations for at least a few hundred yards both directions.... jogger running down the road with back to traffic. total numbskull and candidate for darwin award. i passed and peeped, he gave the usual salute. patently he was in the right. just because you can doesnt mean you should - entitlment.
Unfortunately that's the way of things these days especially with 90% of the lycra brigade believing it's their right to inconvenience many so they alone can do as they please. Every man for themselves and **** everyone else.
