As the feared event occurred to me a few weeks ago and my seven is now under serious repair, I have also been wondering how to be more visible.
Colour might be a factor, but I think we all see colours differently so it might be difficult to have a bright colour for all. I am thinking of driving with lights on all the time, maybe just sidelights, or maybe headlights. Most cars on the road now seem to drive with headlights all the time even in sunshine. The days of driving around town at night with just sidelights seem to have gone. In a modern car I get flashed at for driving with just sidelights in town.
As for the very bright random bike flashers, they drive me nuts and feel they could cause accidents. When on my bike I find I have to look away when such flashing is within sight.
Thinking about it, my recent collision was probably nothing to do with me being in an old car.
