All of these happened the same summer, over the course of about 8 weeks.

After the first instance, I started riding with my headlight (cheap clone, about 450 lumens) on. Three of the instances happened with the headlight on.

Then i got fed up and started running a flashing light, much dimmer because I thought 450 lumens was too much to flash.

My current light is an Ignita which is probably only about 40 lumens, flashing.

It's been over a year since then and starting the day that I started running flashing front, I haven't had a single car do that. I HAVE had cars start to pull around to pass, but then they saw me and pulled back in line again.

It's still anecdotal, but it's good enough for me.

As I said, I'm not going to run 450 lumens flashing, but I will run a front flasher.
