Hi-viz vest, sure, why not.
Sitting at a stop light, flash your brake light when you see a car come up behind you. A flashing light gets a driver's attention more than the solid brake or tail light. Also once you stop, turn your front wheel toward a gap so that if a car hits you from behind, you'll get pushed somewhere safer than into the bumper in front of you. I usually turn toward the lane-line or toward the side of the road. Somewhere open.

NEVER would have thought of that turning your wheel thing! Great advice, thank you!
