I wear a full size HiViz over my jacket and have Yellow lens covers on. Now my ride home i notice cars move aside as i filter through.
I wear my jacket after a friend told me about another friend who had a slow speed spill on his bike but got hit by a car because he couldn't be seen lying in the road. So now on my commute i wear it all the time, but not so much during ride outs with mates.
A very nice bike cop told me that once the traffic speed was up to 40 mph filtering was ill advised and that not to filter faster than a brisk walking pace faster than the other vehicles. Seems to work for me.
