...I was thinking that if you're well off the road to the far right (past asphalt, if possible), it generally doesn't provide much in the way of safety from traffic on the far left.
Either way, the tape is seen.
If you are oncoming and I have the hood up, you will see the tape.
If you are going the same direction as me, you'll see the
tape on the rear doors or the side doors, if they are open.
And just to be more clear, it's not actually tape.
It's road sign material. It's the same reflective material
that road signs are made from. I just cut it in strips.
It's more reflective than the tape you buy at the parts or RV stores.
Can you take a picture of where you mounted strobe lights? I can't see them mounted externally in the picture. I have a small portable one for diving that I take with me when I'm biking at night; it runs of a single AA and works great to alert drivers on the road turning left in front of me (a regular bike light wasn't working.)
They are inexpensive (
Under $25. ) But unless I wanted to tear apart a light fixture I can't picture how to mount it without having it look very odd. Do yo have some easy method?
I'm not talking about little bicycle strobe lights.
I'm talking about full blown emergency vehicle strobe lights, made by Whelen.
I've got one in each corner and you can't see them externally, unless they are turned on.
In the front, they are mounted in the housing of the spot
light that turns on when you signal.
The rears are mounted inside the back up light reflector.
To be legal, they have to be inside the clear lenses.
Inside the red or amber lens, they are illegal in Georgia (as I believe they would be in most states).
