There are differences in awareness between drivers though. When I drive a car, I (quite literally) ask myself whether there's a motorcyclist around at every junction or right turn (in a LH drive country) I come to. My conditions are pretty unusual - I'm primarily a motorcyclist and rarely drive (to the point where I find myself nodding involuntarily at riders even when I'm driving). I'm not sanguine about raising people's average level of awareness - of motoryclists, or anything else! So I agree you wouldn't choose it as a road safety strategy. I'd still keep antenna up for anything that might amplify awareness though.
