Every vehicle doesn't need strobes. Motorcycles, because of their size, tendency NOT TO BE SEEN in certain situations and their related rider vulnerability if involved in a collision accident, would benefit much from the system that I described. My suggestion was that the strobes could only be activated manually and that for only a 20 sec. interval at a time. How often do you see Police or ERV's going through intersections with their lights on? I drive for a living and see it all the time. Doesn't bother me the least bit ( unless it makes me miss the light . ) It would not bother me one Iota to see a motorcycle go through an intersection with a couple front strobes flashing. Matter of fact it would give my a big fuzzy warm feeling inside just knowing that such a system might in fact save some lives.

Sorry, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of the link that RichSPK provided. Legal or not, I doubt the police would write anyone a ticket ( using a device like I described ) designed to provide added "momentary" visibility. Use to be illegal for anyone to use wheel lights, frame lights, colored or otherwise. I see people ( including myself ) using colored wheel and frame lights all the time on bicycles. I see motorcycles using colored side lighting. The police aren't going to say anything about it unless they thought it posed a threat to the general public. You can't of course put Police type strobes on your car and try to act like a Police vehicle. That will earn you a day in court. I have however seen vehicles equipped with white and/or amber LED strobes front and back. * I don't think you can legally use them while driving down the road though unless you are a commercial construction, tow or escort vehicle. ( *although I might be wrong about that )
