I saw a real taillight on the WNBR last year. A standard flashing taillight located dead center, several inches below the naked rider's waist, exactly where a tail would be. (Actually clipped onto a flesh colored thong but at night,the thong was invisible.)

Drivers don't notice other people in cars or semi trucks next to them. This light is meaningless.

When you see the actual size of this light (1.5" dia.), it's less than meaningless.
