Another things I haven't noticed is automobile traffic having any problems when they approach form a 90 degree angle. My route takes me across a pair of 4 lane roads, and I often have to wait for traffic. I've never seen a problem with traffic not being able to continue in a straight line after passing me. Don't these drivers know they should be having the troubles some of you have mentioned?

Sometime ago there was a picture posted here of a bicycle under a large dumptruck after a fatal accident. The driver never saw the bicyclist until after the accident, and in one of the pictures you could faintly see the dim glow of a nice polite low powered light that wouldn't offend anyone still shining after the accident. I don't want to end up like that.
