me Here's my tuppence worth
If My old works van can get hit when it is bright yellow with chevrons on the tail board, hazard lights flashing, and yellow beacons flashin on the roof, 1/2 mile of warning signs warning people I'm there and the cones laid out on the road behind me to create the required safety zone.
I fail to see what good a hi viz jacket does.
They are some common places now that they have become a sort of background noise of colour.
Has for people feeling safe when wearing one and not riding so defensively I can see how this would happen.
It would become the same as the full body armour warriors who belive they are invincable.
It.s the old risk compensation arguement.
Bet nobody on here would do bends as fast in shorts and T-Shirt as they do in full leathers
