There's a fleet of public transport buses in my area that have them, and I'll do my best to get away from them being in my field of vision. Interestingly, it's on their older buses, and the newer ones don't have this dangerous feature.

I do wonder what the purchasers of these things think they are adding to their vehicles, it does nothing for the driver, and just cheapens the appearance of the vehicle to others.

I don't buy the "if you don't like it, don't post" argument (unless that's a directive from Internet Brands). Some say that XYZ modification looks good, others say it doesn't. What's the problem with voicing either opinion?
You may need to see your eye doctor, seriously, I was driving 500 miles round trip nightly, More than 3/4 of it was in the dark, I had truck with lights from front to back looked like a house lit up for Christmas, made me look but not stare. Lights are not the problem sir, really you could have a problem.

Oh I forgot this is an edit....If the blinking of the lights was an issue then our puddle lights would be done after a year would they not?
