I have been running a flashlight based strobe light on my bike both front and rear for years. Nothing but comments from pedestrians and drivers that say "boy I can really see you!" Never a complaint. Mostly daylight riding.

I was riding home at dusk tonight and got pulled over. A senior patrol officer (Corporal) told me that my light could trigger epileptic seizures with the light.

I suggested that epileptics can''t have a drivers license by law and I was not aware of a law that prohibited the lights. He said he didn't either but told me to turn off the strobe. Not wanting to get hooked up for failing the attitude test, I did so and went home.

So....the CHP is closed on weekends and nothing turns up on the net, yea or nay.

What say the maniacs on the board? Please cite a rule or code without being an asshat, please.
