I don't know if I agree with the German conclusion that flashing lights are dangerous or inadequate. To be safe, I try to run two tail lights, one steady, one flashing. If I only have one tail light, I set it on flash. I also put a red light in my spokes so others see the motion of my rear wheel. I've gotten compliments on it, so I suspect it helps.
