Right again?? Hmmm, I think that makes 2 for this year...
I'm with Barry on the don't rely on it factor. Actually, you shouldn't rely on anything - pipes, horn, bright clothes, bright lights, etc.
Just assume nobody sees you and ride accordingly.
The wife and I went shopping today and as we were coming home we were approaching a side street on the left. We were still a couple hundred feet away. There was a car coming towards us and a p/u truck in the side street. I told the wife - watch - that pick up is going to pull out. I slowed way down. Sure enough, the pick up pulled out and tapped the other car right on the rear corner near it's bumper just as it was passing thru the intersection. She looked at me like I was psychotic, er, psycho, er, psychic....
Sometimes you can just sense these things. Riding seems to hone those skills.
