IT WAS good to see that the police are going to clamp down on cyclists without lights, but are they also going to clamp down on the car drivers who don't seem to know when or what lights to use?

A trip around York's northern ring road will see an amazingly high proportion of people driving without lights or just side lights when visibility requires dipped headlights. Do these people look no further than the end of their bonnets while driving?
