I run on Paddy Hamilton and agree that some drivers don't give runners enough room but I've also seen runners out in the dark without lights in dark clothing. I would never consider driving without lights at 5:30 am so why do runners run without lights in the dark. The lights help you see the road but more importantly, help drivers see you. See you on the roads.
