Seeing this makes me wonder, though, if there isn't some benefit to making one's rig look more like a "vehicle" that a driver would understand as such. For example, drivers learn to recognize, and eventually instinctively understand, that 2 steady red lights mark the width of a vehicle from behind. Adding a third at the top center would be similar to the third brake light on a car - a convention that would get a driver's attention. B&M has some video on their web site proposing that their "Line" tail lights enable drivers to judge the distance to a cyclist much better then a point source light does. OF course, on a bike by itself, there's no way to get 2 points far enough apart to mimic car tail lights, so a line is the best you can do. On a trailer, you can get some horizontal seperation of lights.

Of course, too much visibility is always better then too little. Just thinking....
