Daylight running lights
If that was the best way to do it then I sure BMW, Triumph et al would not have dual fog spots at the front of their flagship bikes. I am not totally convinced that lights, visible jackets make a significant difference to accident figures on cars pulling out on bikes anyway. There are many cases with lights on, visible jackets and motorbikes being hit, policeman as well. It is more about the lack of focus that a modern car affords the driver - hands free, easy to drive etc. On my last 7000 mile bike trip when visibility was bad we just stopped and waited for the weather to clear - better than any visibility aid.
