I'm sure we've all been faced with the hazards of the multiple U-turn areas that are so prevalent in Thailand. I cannot recount the number of times that motorists have slowly turned in front of me and where I have executed massive brake pumping to stop only a foot or so from the side of their vehicle.
Since purchasing a headlight modulator and installing it on my bike, I have not had one incident of motorists not seeing me or ignoring me at these U-turn areas, and I have been to rides at Maha Salakham, the dreaded Highway 2 from UTH to Khon Kaen, and to Phetchabun and back to UTH -- not to mention just everyday riding.
The strobing effect of the headlight in the daytime really gets their attention. Even those who like to roll through the U-turn have come to a complete stop when they see me coming. It has been well worth the $70+ US dollars spent.
