Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

Edit: to clarify: the message in the ad is actually ironic/satirical, mocking the advice for cyclists to wear high-viz at night.
It uses the same logic but inverts the parts and responsabilities, by suggesting to motorists (not cyclists) to apply bright paint on their cars.
So this ad is not pro or against high-viz, it's against victim blaming

The funny part is that it is actually "headlights on when wipers required", which is quite strange. When I am in heavy rain and I have a freshly rainx'ed winshield, I don't even need wipers. But I still need lights
Here in Spain is much simpler, if it's cloudy lights go on. Anything besides a blue sky basically means lights on. Its way easier since you just always have them on and that's basically it.
Yeah, that's what I want. Car manufacturers should just have them be always on, and that turning them off uses some mechanic where you have to be in park or something. I've just seen too many people who don't use them in the rain, and of course the folks who think their daytime lights are their headlights at night.
