You are preparing your bicycle for a night ride on unlit country roads. Which of the following setups BEST meets both the legal requirements and the Highway Code’s safety recommendations for being seen by other road users?

Explanation

Highway Code Rule 60 states that at night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights lit and MUST be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors if manufactured after 1/10/85. It also advises that white front reflectors and spoke reflectors will help you be seen. Flashing lights are permitted, but a steady front lamp is recommended when riding where there is no street lighting. Option A is the only answer that correctly combines the legal requirements with the recommended additional reflectors and a steady front light for unlit roads.
