Mark,
Maybe we can design/build LIFESONIC, for (visually) inattentive
drivers who aren't deaf. Their ain't no guarantees in life,
all we can do is minimize the risks. If anyone told me that the
LIFEBRITE installation would prevent all but 1 driver from trying
to cut in front of me in over 3000 miles of city, highway,
suburban & rural driving, I would have said "yeah, riiiight!!!".
Let me know about your post-installation experiences.

The greatest danger that we face is drivers who pull out
in front of us from side streets, or make a left turn
from the on coming lane. The all too common statement
from the driver is "I didn't see the motorcycle."

After a serious motorcycle accident 2 years ago, I needed
a better solution to being seen by cars. LIFEBRITE safety
lights provides a much-needed boost to motorcycle
"invisibility". These lights are small, light weight,
waterproof and best of all, highly effective. In 3200+
miles of riding, only 1 car attempted to pull out from a
side street in front of me!!
