Yeah, people seem to think your being aggressive.. I've even noticed people flashing at me when travelling in the opposite direction, I assume to let me know that they think I've "forgotten" to turn my lights off or because they think I'm being an arse

That reminds me of the self preservation motorcycle tactics I used when a full time bike rider :

Lights on 24/7 and treat everyone like they are out to get you

Amazing.
Ever since it became fashionable to order a car ( mainly saloons ) in what I assume was regarded as an 'executive' and serious persons colour, ie grey or dark silver I guessed that one day people will wake up to what an invisible shade it is.
In the UK we have to endure many grey overcast days.
The colour of our roads is mainly light to dark grey.
Surely grey represents the Berlin Wall, Poland, depression, sadness, gloom, hardly a colour for a fun and joyfull form of transport.
