Flickering Light Modes - Not Necessarily Safe

Hey everybody,

Just wanted to bring up a point that I have noticed while driving my car at night. Numorous times I've passed cyclists with their red blinkies on and I actually found the flickering bright red lights fairly distracting. A steady red light would be more than suffecient to get noticed and when driving by it's more a 'I know this cyclist is there'. When it's flickering I find myself being annoyed by it and gives the impression of being blinded and gives a worse sense of where the cyclist is. This is my personal finding ... what do you guys think?
