I don't worry about car drivers, but I do turn off the Dinotte tail light if I am riding with a bunch of other cyclists. I balance the negative of the annoyance to the driver against my additional safety, and decide that my skin is valuable enough to be worth annoying a motorist for.
BTW - are you the same crazybikerchick as writes
