It's a moving target.

1st it was incandescent bulbs... then 3rd brake lights... then LED's.

You've seen the video's of people plowing into police, EMT and fire vehicles that have all their lights flashing and strobing.

Will this help... sure. Can you fix stupidity with technology, no.

They need to find a way to keep cell phones out of people's hands. I'm tired of seeing people holding this phones like they're eating a pop tart, or staring down at their laps while driving.

On cop cars everything flashes and crack heads still hit them.

These will help, maybe not with the people with their face in a phone, but the people who don't realize it's there right away and give them time to safely move over.

This. It doesn't matter what you do to a vehicle or how much you light it up, people will still hit it.

I don't like the reflective strips outside the vehicle but in my last car I had them on the doors and trunk lid near the edge so that if you opened a door it revealed the reflective strip. Same with the trunk.
