Volvo 'LifePaint' - anyone tried it?

You can see the issue with something that lasts a limited time and is invisible in normal light. It only becomes apparent that you're not protected when it's too late.

Seems a bit gimmicky to me, and I wouldn't rely on it alone, but it has its place. As with helmets and hi-vis I don't see any problem with people being encouraged to use them as long as we don't get into the issues we see of victims of accidents being considered to be partially negligent for choosing not to use them.

Any sort of lighting/reflecting someone on a bike has only works if drivers are looking where they're going, concentrating on the road and driving at a speed so they can stop in the space they can see to be clear.

And IF they don't consider cyclists to be unimportant sub-humans.

The important question for me is...

How much does this paint weigh!?

Wrong question. Does it reduce the coefficient of friction of the clothing you spray it on?
