Many car drivers won't see anything that's not big enough to hurt them. Some don't even see that.
Depressingly, I think you're right. Drivers pile into stopped police cruisers and tow trucks operating their flashing lights with alarming regularity and even the mighty MiNewt doesn't hold a candle to them.
A strobe light and bright clothing does increase the chance of being seen and if nothing else weakens drivers' excuses in the event of things going south.
