Wear reflectors!
Uten refleks vil du først bli oppdaget på 25-30 meters hold. Med refleks er du synlig på 140 meters avstand, selv om bilen bare har nærlysene på. Med fjernlys økes synligheten til 400 meter.

Without reflectors you will not be seen (by a car in the dark) until at 25-30 meters. With reflectors you are visible at 140 meters even with dipped beams. With main / high beams you increase visibility to 400 meters.

In the UK, people haven't even heard of it it seems. I hope you guys have, but if you haven't, this is what I am talking about

LOL To me, this is old-school -- things we did back in the 60's.

I've solved the problem now. The furthest I go after dark is taking my recyclable container out to the curb, which is barely a meter from my steps. And, yes, I've almost run into people doing that but that's because THEY weren't wearing reflectors. lol (Either that or the big container I was carrying hindered my sight of the sidewalk.)
