Cyclist, motorist, biker and pedestrian here. I’m not sure what kind of motorcycle you have at your locale, here the mandatory running lights are alone quite visible. When I go by bike I have a Garmin Varia (sorry for the ad) which is quite powerful and also start blinking crazily when something arrives from behind.
We live in a world that has accepted road casualties. What to reduce them? Make people accountable for that, eg. lifetime driving license revocation.
I can’t believe we are talking about going around like a Christmas tree to increase survival probability. Are people driving? Then let’s make sure they are looking at where they are going.
Next time what? Will you mandate LEDs fitted jackets to pedestrians?

- tuxone 4y agoI am quite happy with the yellow indicators. I had the opportunity to drive in the US and found quite awkward those integrated red indicators (compared to other restrictive/protective laws like edible toys).
- ahoy 4y agoMost road safety problems boil down to too many cars. The US & Canada aren't interested in changing that though. In the US we have 40k road deaths/year baked into the culture. It's really jarring, as someone who doesn't own a car.
- PebblesRox 4y agoI think this is something people will look back on in the future and be shocked that so many deaths by car were considered normal.
- _carbyau_ 4y ago> Make people accountable for that, eg. lifetime driving license revocation. Kind of like prohibition - it doesn't work. You may already note that people are caught daily without a license anyway. Where I live at least, if you don't drive like a dick, chances are you could drive for years without being caught. I can't recall the last time I had to show my license at a police stop.
