Edit: to clarify: the message in the ad is actually ironic/satirical, mocking the advice for cyclists to wear high-viz at night.

It uses the same logic but inverts the parts and responsabilities, by suggesting to motorists (not cyclists) to apply bright paint on their cars.

So this ad is not pro or against high-viz, it’s against victim blaming

      I assume it’s to catch people’s attention better

      I find them annoying but I also used to find DRLs annoying and now I’m in favor of them as good safety, and I’ve not looked into the safety of flashing lights so I avoid taking a side on that one for now
