... if they can`t see a bright light coming towards them then they must drive with eyes closed
There used to be a monthly article called "Crash Course" in one of the bike mags many years ago. By someone from the insurance industry, it was a brief explanation of police findings from various accidents.
One such case was a fatal head-on collision between a bike and car at night on a hazard-free bit of road. The conclusion was that the bike had its lights on full beam, the car driver couldn't see where he was going, braked, but it wasn't enough.

It just shows you that when it comes to bikes its hard to do right for doing wrong.
Just the other day I saw a bike with two extra side lights mounted on the crash-bars and they were flashing like the ones that you see cyclists use - they about through me into an epelict fit

If you really want to be seen and be legal, get some daylight running lights.

You mean extra light as I already ride with both left and right lights on, like I said they are not full beam but one side points more at the oncoming traffic so it looks brighter, they dont blind anyone because I dont ride at night
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
