I drive so little that I don't have any experiences with poorly visible cyclists on the road. But I do a lot of running along a path shared by cyclists and pedestrians. At dark, I look like a Christmas tree: high-vis jacket, head lamp, white and red million mile light on frong and back, respectivelly, and flashing armbands. It's unbelievable how many completely dark pedestrians and cyclists I encounter on my runs. Sometimes I don't see them until they enter my light cone, and I have to put serious effort into avoiding them. Everyone should be made wear reflexive elements at dark, regardless whether they plan on stepping on the road.
