I've seen this view expressed frequently, but have never seen any research quoted to prove it.

I'm sceptical about this. As rider and driver, I've seen large nos. of cyclists with blinkies and, AFAIK, have never been unable to judge how far away they are. I've certainly never found one suddenly in front of me whom I had thought further away.


Anyone any references to such research?
