From the comments on that article: "My former commute of 6 years
involved a 5% climb for a mile on a narrow lane with no shoulder and not
enough room for car drivers to pass when there was oncoming traffic.
Over the years my lights have changed. I’ve had everything from one $5
taillight to 2 Superflashes (usually used in flashing mode) to a wide
dynamo taillight. I was surprised any time I switched lights that
drivers didn’t behave any differently. Regardless of lights, I found
that they passed safer and more cautiously when I started riding ~3ft
from the curb, rather than 1ft. They saw me, and would have to wait
patiently if there was oncoming traffic before passing."
