English term or phrase: and screw on a Yosemite Sam Back Off mud flap.

Estamos hablando sobre motociclismo, y sobre el peligro que constituyen para un motociclista los conductores de otros vehículos que hacen giros a la izquiera justo en frente de uno, y que causan un porcentaje altísimo de accidentalidad en el motociclismo.

Muchas veces, el conductor que tumbó al motociclista se excusa con la frase I didn't see you.

Entonces, la instrucción en el libro que traduzco dice textualmente:

This repeated I DIDN'T SEE YOU exscuse of the knocker-downers has led some safety experts to believe that the problem simply is that motorcycles are inconspicuous in traffic. The solution, theoretically, is to be more conspicuous. The suggestions are to wear bright colored riding gear, blind everyone else with the head light on high beam, and *screw on a Yosemite Sam Back Off mud flap.*

Me suena muy norteamericano, pero les agradecría sugerencias a cualquiera de mis colegas.

Muchísimas gracias.
