People don't shoulder check enough as it is, and if you can't hear the thing in your car, i'm willing to bet motorcycle accidents go up.
That's the argument many in the community make.

One of the bikes sites I frequent had the results of a "Noisy bikes save lives" type study last season. I don't recall the numbers, but I do recall that they blew the theory outta the water. Pretty sure it was vfrworld that had the story?
