It is a new version "Prisoner's dilemma: Each of us is expected to go that bit further to ensure the poor drivers have a "chance of seeing" us. Each step the individual takes puts the other(s) at disadvantage because they are all expected to at least match that step. Meanwhile the amount of light pollution escalates, the expectations of how visible someone on the public road must make themselves increases and woe betide anyone who cannot afford or does not wish, to dress up like an illuminated clown .

I dunno. It seems that there can be advances made in road safety. The falling car injury statistics point to newer cars (or drivers?) as being a key factor in improved safety for the occupants (both in terms of the occurrence and severity of accidents). Having cyclists do exactly the same as they did 50 years ago is one school of thought. But others are actually happy to see if improvements can actually be made - in all respects, not just how visible bikes and riders are per se.

Don't they point to medical treatment as much as anything?

Oh, and to externalised danger...

So this Volvo paint is some kind of PR spoof??? As is this one??? warning a cyclist of an impending collision with a car.

The last time I looked at: http://road-collisions.dft.gov.uk/ ...fewer collisions.

Technology can do more than just distract drivers by iPhones, etc, so let's make it work in our favour. People don't get better or worse, but getting man to the moon was possible in 1969, yet not in 1869. Why not move forwards?

If you regard the expectation of having everyone (and everything?) on the roads being fluorescent as "moving forwards" then we will have to disagree.

Indeed.

Maybe the IR cameras in some high end cars are valuable, as are the forward looking radar and automatic braking systems...
