Mabey it's just me, but it seems that since cagers never see us anyway, I'd want to add more reflectors to mine....
But there again, I've seen cagers who ignored emergency vehicles lit up like Christmas trees, with sirens wailing. They were lost in their own little worlds....

No issues here either. I don't see cagers following road signs, traffic signals and a lot are distracted. Just this week a distracted driver (neighbor) took out my mail box. My mail box post was a 6x6 cemented 2' in the ground. Broke the post in half and pulled it out of the ground.
When I asked her what she was doing her reply was "I was swatting a mosquito".
So, I don't think a tiny reflector will do much for the person who never see's it.

Reflectors? We don't need no stinging reflectors. We are TEXANS. I have been getting my stickers from a Quicker Sticker franchise for years. So long as lights and turn signals work, horn,brakes. They don't care about any stinging reflectors. Merry Christmas.
