Brilliant! I will run my lights in blink mode in the daytime if it is overcast. I also wear a 180 rear blinkie ion my helmet, and a non-blinking medium power LED light on the front of my helmet. I don't know what kind of close calls the OP is talking about, but with my take-a-look glasses-mount mirror I can see cars coming up behind me and use my left arm to "wave them around" or pat downward a few times as if to say "slow down, stay back" This works reasonable well, but not always. From the front I have the AirZound Airhorn which usually gets their attention, even with their windows rolled up.
