I can't understand why a coach builder of "safety" vehicles would do something that unsafe.

I have seen the same. In fact just last night I commented on it to the wife as we were stuck behind at a stop light. It was physically painful and I had to pull the visor down and peak underneath it. I fully understand they need to be seen but when it is so bright it causes other issues they have gone too far.
I half joked about johan's tails (stock) on his 17 but both Ultra and I saw just how bright they were and noted they actually hurt when the signal or brake lights came on. The last thing you want people doing is looking away in discomfort every time you hit the brakes.
