I really cannot relate to this urban legend, any more than I can relate to the idea that blinking lights make drunk people run into me. Maybe it's just that I'm extra-specially awesome, but I have no inherent problem getting approximate range on a blinkie in flashing mode. And there's no risk of it being overlooked as something else, such as a stoplight in the distance. Sign me up for 100% flashing.
