Cars should all require high visibility paint since they are what kill people. Especially relevant during low visibility conditions.
I mean, fuck cars and all that but cars have lights on them.
yup, and daytime running lights (DRL) are becoming increasingly common.
They make no difference to safety in any of the studies I've seen. (there are differences, but not statistically significant - and some of the differences are cars become more dangerous)
Cars are more dangerous in general now than before, due to being larger and with worse blind spots. The point of this comment chain is that the visibility of the car makes no damn difference.
