Hi Viz. Do you believe It Helps?

[crickleymal]

I'm with the majority in that I wear Hi Viz during the winter or when it's dark and rainy. I think it does help a bit. Certainly I've seen a few people on the motorway have Oh Shit moments when they've passed me and then though "was that a copper?" (not that I'm wearing anything that could possibly make people mistake me for a copper, just a Hi Viz waistcoat).

Weaving around a bit can help. I think if you ride in a dead straight line, people don't perceive the headlamp as moving. Whereas if you weave a bit the lamp shifts so becomes more noticeable.
