This is frightening! It works exactly like it says, and is one major reason people in cars can look right at you when you're on a motorcycle or bicycle---AND NOT SEE YOU.

Re: Sorry Mate.......
wierd, but I tried changing where on the grid I was focusing every two or three seconds and the effect went away....
