What inspired a new bicycle laser light?

The fear of being run over by a lorry while out cycling gave Emily Brooke the brainwave to create an innovative new bike light.

Following a near miss of her own, Ms Brooke came up with the idea of creating a light which also projected a laser image of a bicycle 5m (16ft) ahead to warn motorists that there was a cyclist in their blind spot.

The Blaze Laserlight went on sale in 2014, and within months had sold more than 3,000 units.
