Think about this for a second. If you have one of these devices, it should NEVER stick out while riding in an area where peds or animals are on your left side. I'm thinking along the lines of an MUP. MAYBE a car parking lot or something. If you're riding on the road, a pedestrian or animal on your left side would be out in the street/road, where they shouldn't be anyway. I don't see the problem here.
