OK - without getting into all the nuances and fine detail and using a cars high beam lights vs. a pox camera flash, being in traffic, coming from behind as compared to coming from the side etc..... etc., etc., etc....

This is a very simple "what you see is what you get" test, or to rephrase that in terms of riding at night in reflective clothes on a bike with lights and reflectors Vs. a person who wears all dark colored clothing and they are riding a bike with no lights or reflectors.....
