140 lumens is not obnoxiously bright. And if a bike tail light provides a distraction to a driver then that driver is too tired to focus on task and shouldn't be on the road anyway.
And for every driver that feels like bitching about my well aimed 1000 lumen head light they should get out of their car and look at where the non load adjusted point of focus of their truck headlights is pointing (and stop driving around on high beam just because they have poor eyesight) and then go home and fix them.
