Here is a quote taken from 3M's web-site: All trailers with 10,000 lbs
gross vehicle weight or more manufactured after Dec 1, 1993 are required
by law to be outlined in a series of reflective dashes... A two year
NHTSA study showed that trailers with reflective workings had 18 percent
fewer accidents than trailers without reflectors. That included a 21
percent reduction in nighttime accidents and even a 16 percent reduction
in daytime accidents. Mazhar Loan

Mazhar Loan Now that you have clarified that the study only applies to trailers, not cars, I find the 18 percent believable. Without this tape, some trailers from the side are close to invisible--especially when their lights are malfunctioning. Do you have an explanation for the daytime effect?
