Four months ago I removed the Cateye 1000 I was using along with two other LED tailights. I mounted a Dinotte tail light using a conduit pipe hanger. I positioned the light so it would not only be angled up slightly but also to my left so that it is pointed directly in the eyes of motorists passing me from behind. There has been a dramatic shift in how I am passed now. The cars pull way over sometimes fully into the oncoming lane. Its like they don't want any part of me and my bike. Far from getting road rage, drivers are actually giving me a giant safety zone when they pass me. My advice is to point the light right at the drivers.
I should also mention that I upgraded from a 24w halogen headlight to a Lupine Wilma, I now get the "dim your headlights" signal from on comming cars, which I am more than happy to do as they pass me.
