Possibly an exaggeration. I have not done a scientific survey or analysis of traffic that passes me. It is just an observation that many more cars now pass wide than before. Perhaps I should start counting, then ride without the lights and make another count. Nah! Not worth it. I "feel" a lot safer, so I'll continue using strobes. All I know is that there is a definite and perceptible difference.
