Got a fixed dynamo myself -
I was cycling near Stirling in 1939 after the war had started. The

lights were operated by dynamo so they went out when I stopped. A

came up and told me (what I knew) that the lights were out. Do you
have to
have lights if you are stationary?"

Well, you 'wrote it' Dilwyn. Ball's in your court...! ;-)

Q-uality L-ighting helps.
Actually, for once in my life, that wasn't me (I think it was George
Gwilt???)!
Although there is one particular incident from my past which proves
you do need a light when stationary (or rather your car does). Several
years ago I got a fixed penalty fine for parking facing the wrong way
at night in Caernarfon. :o(
How many know that's a driving offence here? OK, technically you're
not driving at the time, but...
So, John, your next task is to write a QL program to interface to a
car and GPS etc (once Adrian finishes his USBWiz gizmo) to warn the
driver of offences imminently about to be caused - there, back on
topic :-)
