Was it in flash mode or steady? That light on flash mode should have been enough to make you visible. However, people have been known to run into police cars parked on the side of the road that have all their emergency lights on so nothing will be completely idiot-proof.

I agree on the PBSF Turbo as a good, annoying tail light. I was running a pair of PB Blaze headlights (1W in flash to be seen, 2W steady when needed to see) on my commuter but recently switched to a pair of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/t6-wate...t-82510?item=6 . Been very happy with them so far. I do use Cree LED flashlights (2 AA size) for my MTB and road bikes on the rare occasion I ride either of them at night.
