As long as it's broad daylight, it's one thing.
After sunset, it's a completely different issue.
4-6-18 wheeled vehicles will simply NOT see you.
AND
with wet roads not reflecting light back at you, you will NOT see where the road goes, nor where the potholes are, etc.
Entirely by guesswork...
AND
the Savage's taillight is not something I would bet my life on...
I know, I rode some 400 miles in the rain at night once, and arrived absolutely terrified !
