I do wear a hi vis, I prefer one with sleeves (I got one at a bike safety day but have struggled to find a suitable replacement). While I still get missed from time to time I do think drivers are more embarrassed after. On a solicitors website they also pointed out that it may help create a good impression in court should you have a bump.
The one where I think I scared someone I changed into the outside lane as there was a lot of bunching, the cars couldn't get up to speed but with a gap I moved across and then opened the throttle in 2nd, it just got me wondering if I've scared others and just not noticed.
The mini driver had been causing me problems earlier, speeding to overtake me (allowing me to read a "You've just been mini'd sticker on the back) and having very poor lane discipline, I'd filtered past a few cars which then turned off so she was back to being right behind me, tailgated me on the approach. I wouldn't have gone for the gap behind me on the bike never mind a car.
