I've said this before, I run with my headlamp on high beam at all times (day only). I noticed a significant decline in the number of vehicles that pull out in front of me. I started running that way two years ago and in all that time only one person flashed their high beams at me indicating it bothered them. My thought was tough, at least that driver saw me.

I too, have been running my high beam during the day and have noticed less pull outs from cagers. My only concern is the bulb life being shortened by the hot Texas summers we have. But then, that is better than my life being shortened.

might want to check this guy out:

he just bought some parts off of me and is very knowledgeable. His modulator is real small and can be mounted with a longer lead he says under the seat or behind side cover.American made too!
I bought mine from them and was very pleased with the quality and price!

If I had my way bikes would be equipped with a button like the horn that causes a cell phone to emit a loud squeal and screech in the cell phone users ear when pushed.: laugh:

I like that idea.

Yes, it works. The only downside is that you now have someone trying to figure out why their cellphone isn't working rather than talking on it.

They make one? ! Unfortunately some of us have to rely on luck and paranoia as we are a bit cash strapped.

They make some very good ones. Even portable ones you can carry in your pocket and have a a decent range, up to about 20m.

Local legal ordinance may vary by location though and this could be illegal for some people.
