Unhappy Why not ?

Was driving recently and thinking about (call me paranoid!) what could prevent my HL from being rear-ended.

How about reflective tape below rear door handle, full rear width?
Surprisingly, don't see regular (non-emergency) cars/trucks on roads using it.

There are some colorful reflective tapes on the market, but why not widely used?

Liability issue? DOT-restricted?
All trucks/semis have them (white/red or white/orange), why can't I ?

I think this thread by JMSinMD may be right up your alley. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it could help float some more ideas.
