Essentially this... come on.. you all drive... how well do blinkies work during the day?! My batteries last more than twice as long as many of you here because I take advantage of the fact that
they are not needed in the daytime!!! Hi- viz clothing is more effective at standing out in traffic as a cyclist, day or night, than a blinky. But, as mentioned, flashing is what gets attention so... why wouldn't one go with that... at night. And... a car does not need (or care) how fast you are going. They need to know that you are there. Period. Once they know that, they can avoid hitting you. Make yourself annoying enough with too much wattage and they may hit you intentionally just to stop the pain in their eyeballs... just saying. Honestly, it isn't rocket science.
