This is a total non-sequitur. Please stick to the subject.

I refer you to Basa's message about the mounted police above!

A solid light is much easier to track than a strobe, hence why there is the law in place which you are breaking (you nasty criminal!)

A flashing light is more noticable than a solid one. That is why car indicators flash.
A flashing light with sufficient "latency" that it does not have a distinct "off" phase on a bike is noticable and not difficult to track. I know, I've seen both.

It was late, I was trying not to sound patronising but wanted to say what I put, hence why I tried to express I wasn't being patronising.
If you want to get worked up about it, fine, I was trying not to let this turn into an argument, and keep it as a discussion.

I don't want to "get worked up about it", however using expressions such as that are not helping the "I'm trying to be reasonable and grown up about this" image you seem to be trying to project here.
Next time, why not just avoid using the expressions in the first place?
