One of each?

As a driver I much prefer the flashing ones, they catch my attention better in my rear view mirror.
Please please please a bell too. We've been nearly knocked into the canal a few times.

I prefer you to:
1. Have lights, flashing or non-flashing - I don't care as long as they are the correct colours
2. To wear a fluorescent yellow jacket/waistcoat - They illuminate really well in car headlights
3. If you have a bag to either get a fluorescent yellow bag cover for it or put it under your fluorescent yellow jacket/waistcoat
If you do all that then there is absolutely no excuse that you can't be seen unless the driver isn't looking.
If you just rely on bike lights and wear all black/another dark colour I will be able to see you but not as quickly.I'm not cynical I'm realistic
