not an orientation to light.
My personal experience either driving or riding is that I am much more likely to see bright flashing lights on a bike, especially when the cyclist is riding in and out of shade on a sunny day. Motorists have given me a noticeably wider berth since I have been running a 60 lumen blinkie. I personally know of no cyclists who have been hit inadvertently while running blinkies, though I do know riders who have been hit while unlit.

While it is true it is not a actual "moth to the flame" let's jump to the conclusion.

Conclusion

"The "moth effect" is a myth in one sense and reality in another. The idea that drivers may steer off the road when they fixate flashing lights is likely correct,"
