Would it be a crazy idea to buy a 2nd rear light and mount it on my rack facing towards my back so the light can hit me in the back while riding. See my picture to clarify. Do you think this would be effective/safe and not too distracting or confusing to drivers?

I don’t think it would hurt anything but am skeptical that it would make much difference in your visibility. A different thing you might want to do is to mount your tail light on the back of the rack rather than on the seat post. It looks like the top of the rack is partially blocking it.

If you insist on doing this, use a white light and no dark-color clothing.
