Default Driving in modern traffic

This is definitely a growing problem in the UK
Driving on A roads and dual carriageway can be pretty dicey - particularly if the weather turns wet and reduces visibility further.
A big risk is HGVs just not seeing you there and coming up on you too quickly.
If I drive a vehicle any distance it will be one of my Jeeps and I've recently adopted an idea from a friend and fitted a removable Orange warning light, using one of the bolts on the spare wheel. It's not a magic cure but it hopefully attracts other drivers attention so that they spot you there at least.
You just unbolt t once you get to your destination/event.
