But you are correct I can certainly imagine someone pulling onto the runway while you are on the roll, missing the millions of candlepower of landing/taxi lights, but somehow picking up on a tiny flash while looking into the landing lights.

I hope you drive your car with the emg. flashers on as well, safety first you know. Perhaps you should always use your high beams as well, just to make sure everyone notices you.
