i think the driver would be more likely to become more alert in this case, than to take a couple
seconds to think things over. the way some folks drive around me at night, i could think of worse
things than them being more alert.
nevertheless, i dont really think drivers, or perhaps folks in general, rely on cyclists having a
red rear and a white/green/yella' front. i think that when a driver sees a blinker, they think 'oh!
cyclist! or baby stroller! must be careful!' and dont really get around to consciously deciding what
color their blinker is
