ABSTRACT:
The present invention particularly addresses the issue of safely for motorcycles with respect to enhanced visual awareness on the part of automobile drivers by making the motorcycles significantly more conspicuous. Important features of the invention include flashlamps fired randomly at frequencies selected to be particularly attractive to drivers, a geometrical array for the flashlamps that defines the vehicle as a motorcycle, a forward illumination pattern that provides visibility where it is most needed, and a means for preventing operation during nighttime conditions.
