Some years ago I was on the A32, southbound on a long straight section. I was lining up an overtake when I saw a bright light flashing ahead of me, coming in my direction.
Because it was a point source, I had no depth perception on it, so I had to back out of the overtake.
I waited and waited and eventually realised that it was a bicycle with a very bright flashing front light that had been at least a quarter of a mile ahead of me and I'd have had plenty of time to complete the overtake
