Here's the thing, an object on a collision course with you will not move on your windscreen. It will be a dot that will simply get larger until the collision. Harder to catch that since the eye is attuned to movement.

As to the navigation lights, I'm pretty sure they are designed so that there would never be a situation in which they are all obscured.
