Not a believer in Hi Viz personally; I've had muppets pull out on me even on a bloody bright yellow bike!
FFS, if they can't see that, then HV won't make an awful lot of difference IMO.
In any case, HiViz only works if they look to start with, and that isn't always guaranteed either - I had a taxi come out on me (he was only looking to his left, and I was on his right).
Not knocking those who do use it (it's a free choice after all) - just don't expect any miracles if you do, because there are a multitude of factors that come into play.
