Now I admit that I used to wear a proper Oxford Hi Viz waist coat jobby until a couple of years ago I thought "doesn't make any feckin difference if they're not looking" and that it was useless when filtering to cars in front so stopped wearing it. Not had any dissimilar incidents since but noticed a lot more bike accidents this year since the dark nights/rain and mainly on dual carriageways/motorways.
I've upgraded the headlights & side lights on the CBF workhorse, added LED hand guards but for some reason am more cautious than previous years when filtering due to the incidents I've seen. Another tonight on the A329M going home, one on M4 Monday evening, another M4 Tuesday morning.
Just thought I'd ask the question as to your thoughts and if you've ever thought the Hi Viz has helped.

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
