I was driving home on the dark TransCanada Highway last night – a moonless night with just the stars – and another motorist told me that he almost crashed into my truck's back end.
I have the standard red rear tail lights and a licence plate light. Because the truck is black, he said I just faded into the darkness. Although he said he could see the lights he had no depth perception of where exactly I was in front of him because the truck was so dark and so was the highway.
Anybody know of some stealth-like reflector strip that I could put on the bumper that would be nearly invisible to the eye in the daylight but shine brightly at night?
I sure don't want to ruin the look of my '53 3100 but I also don't want to get creamed by a transport driver making up time in the middle the night…
Any ideas?
Cheers,
John
