Actually... for some reason drivers are always commenting about my ass. To me this says that they can clearly see my ass. So perhaps we can make bike shorts with a stitched in LED arrow on each buttock. Then when drivers are busy staring at my ass, I can engage the turn signal and a left arrow will appear on my left buttock, or a right arrow on my right buttock. That ought to be difficult to miss.
