Do cars stop...

...when they see you?

Feet attired in running shoes, I headed out for my early evening fast walk. I was wearing my usual after-dark lights, 2 bright blinking red lights facing back, and 3 bright blinking blue lights facing forward. As I came close to two police cars, occupants standing outside of the vehicles, I heard the question "do cars stop for you?". I stopped to chat, and to confirm that my lights do in fact make me very visible.

Walking again, a woman in a stopped car called out to ask for directions. I solved her puzzle for her, and she headed out after commenting on my bright lights.

I guess they really do work, lighting me up as I walk when the sun is missing from the sky.
