Don't get me wrong doing what you can to make yourself visible is all good, but just look at the photos of motorbikes and cyclists wearing so called hi viz and highly visible riding gear, including dayglo helmets, which have been knocked off their bikes! Yes a high percentage are actually wearing said gear!
I made a mental note last year about the amount of these photos which were being posted contained the rider with this on.
SMIDNSY - will exist regardless of your attire, I have said this once and I will say again, people's driving ability is worse than it ever has been, the act of actually doing the driving seems to be secondary to talking on the phone, texting, chatting to passengers, thinking about somethings nothing to do with the driving!
