My original thought (and there have been very good suggestions here), Was how to look cool and be safe at the same time. I have also looked at the LED thread, I am currently talking with my wife about a vest made with the LEDs in a pattern. Red on back and white (or blue....so that it does not blind you) on the front.
It could even be made into a pattern of a Jolly Roger or the Confederate Battle Flag depending on the taste of the rider.....That would be something cool for night riding.

Thank you so much. I have corrected my post. I have also read of the incident and I know that many questions still surround his death.
Thank you for spuring me to research it instead of relying on a faulty memory.But I did find his last words to be fitting for this thread....His last known words, uttered right before impact, were said to have been "That guy's gotta stop... He'll see us."
Hey, don't worry about it.....
I was wrong too....
He was in a Porsch Spyder and was hit by a Ford.

Never a hi-jack when making one aware of his error.

If a rider wore a helmet like this they would get everyone’s attention

visibility, vunerability, & velocity: the 3 V's.
personally I like it when cars see me at night. I have a refletive helmet and my white bike is highly reflective. I also have a large taillight that blinks plus 2 more for when it rains or is foggy (Pacific NW weather). Furthermore, I have a yellow blinking light for the front and a 900 lumen headlight (yes, 900 LUMENS). The headlight can flash too, but I feel its kinda dangerous because it is sooooo bright. I get cars high beaming me. That is what the yellow light is for, but I use it mostly for daytime use. In the Pacific NW we are overcast almost all year so its smarrt to make sure auto's see you.
reflective tape on helmet
reflective paint (looks great with the flat black at night)

I never thought about reflective paint, good idea.
As for the POLICE vest- my son is an officer and he had "T" shirts like that, he mentioned only police can wear stuff like.
I guess it is considered impersonating an officer.
You could wear one if you want, but it may gather a kind of notice that you don't want.
