A bicyclist plans to ride home after dark. The bicycle has a red rear reflector. What must the bicycle have on the front?
Correct answer: A white front lamp that can be seen from at least 500 feet.
Why
At night, drivers see a bicycle much later than a car, because it is small and has few lights. A white front lamp lets a driver who comes toward the bicycle, or who waits to turn, see it in time. The law requires a red rear reflector, and a rider can add a red rear lamp. As a driver, dim your lights when you meet a bicyclist at night.
