Reflective Helmet Stickers

What's a biker without stickers on their helmet anyways?
A company called "Streetglo" sells a bunch of reflective stickers to go on your skid-lid so that other folks can see you better at night. Streetglo says that "they're outrageously reflective at night".
Prices aren't too bad, starting from $3.95 on up, depending on how big they are. Hey, if you're gonna stick a bunch of stuff on yer brain-bucket, may as well make 'em glo in the dark!

Reflective Stickers on License Plates
by Steve
Wednesday, February 16, 2005
In Malaysia, a pilot project is underway to see if reflective stickers placed on motorcycle license plates will reduce the number of night-time accidents. An army of volunteers will be going around the country and sticking the stickers on motorcycle license plates.
"We will be going to car parks in mosques, shopping complexes and other public places to stick these strips," said centre director Professor Radin Umar.
"If (this pilot project) helps to reduce night-time accidents, then we will implement it nationwide."
The volunteers are expected to hit the streets in a fortnight armed with 80,000 stickers.
Apparently, they tried this before, but by placing stickers on the back of people's helmets. However, it didn't work because the headlights of vehicles were not high enough to illuminate the stickers.
I would be kinda alarmed to walk out to my motorcycle and see that someone placed a sticker on my license plate. My initial reaction would be to take it off. But then again, technically, license plates are the property of the government. So, I guess they can do it.
UPDATE: Kudos to
Uncaged Librarian for finding this first.
