The drawback is the lure sense of security thinking what you're wearing will make you safer, as opposed to riding in a manner that enable you to be seen properly by others.
Wearing a helmet make some people feel psychologically safer, but doesn't necessary mean you're actually safer.
Which beg the question of whether the person will feel more or less inclined to look behind before they signal, much like people who stopped looking behind after having a mirror on their bicycles.
