Saw a guy wiped out one dark, murky eve last year by a guy from the far lane in oncoming traffic turning across him. Slick looking bike, trendy dark camo gear, but no lights or helmet. I stopped to help, and the driver said to the rider 'If you'd been wearing what he's wearing, I'd have seen you'.
Course it's the driver's fault, but your call if you choose to give them the excuse. I got good lights and a mix of hi-viz and reflective stuff depending on the conditions. But then, I don't look as cool as the guy that got totalled.
