When you're heading towards it at a perpendicular angle, then yes you'll see your headlights. But when you angle is slightly off, then your headlights get reflected somewhere off into the side of the road, and the side of the road is what gets reflected into your eye. At night, this often means darkness, making the trailer "stealthy". Of course, if you knew where to look and what to look for, then you might notice something, but in quickly changing traffic condition you often have to go by with only a glance in each direction.
