This shows how well a person can be silouetted by the reflective red on the rear of the truck. I think it emphasises the fact that there is someone there!   Note the person standing to the right, how dark they are.  Our standard calls for the top half to be chevron and the bottom half to be solid red reflective.  The full rear chevrons have a tendency to sometimes work like camo and hide people, so that is the reason for our style, which also meets NFPA standards of 50% of the rear body to be chevron.
