Helps with preventing cars pulling out in front of me while riding at night
My experience with the Down Low Glow over the last two weeks has been very awesome. The biggest surprise was how it has helped with preventing cars pulling out in front of me while riding at night, as well as having car back up and let me pass through intersection on the rare occasion I have to take the side walk.
I have had many situations where a car has come to an intersection where they had a stop sign and I did not, at least half a block ahead of me, with no other traffic on the road to prevent the car from pulling out, and they waited for me to pass. This situation has happened many times since installing the Down Low Glow.
Also, I have a couple of place I go, where it is a necessary evil to be on the sidewalk for couple of blocks. Since the Down Low Glow, I have had several instances of cars pulling up and blocking the cross walk, then looking over and seeing me approach, and backing up to let me pass (twice the people in the car even waved).
I have of course had situations where I knew that cars slowed down because the could see me from a side view, but I was expecting that from this product. I just thought I would share some of my frontal view experiences, which really surprised me.
Thanks for a great product.
