On the rear they won't completely hide reflectives at all (unless you're using a dinotte). Usually people have lights on the front that are much more likely to drown out the hi viz than on the rear. It's really the same principle as really a driver should even be able to spot a ninja from behind (in theory).
Are you not afraid of becoming a victim of target fixation?
As I said, your photos are a very specific set of circumstances and don't reflect (groan) that many people have their front lights shining at the road surface in front of their tyres rather than some chap standing 100m away.If you've seen the photos, then why are you suggesting that hiviz can be seen behind decent lights? Poorer quality lights, sure, but that's an argument for getting better lights, not for wearing hiviz.
Assuming you mean reflectives where you say hiviz, I don't think that any here are arguing for solely using hiviz. My concerns are that some are arguing against using it at all.Lights don't have the same gaping vulnerabilities to turning invisible that hiviz has, and yet people like the OP's mate rely on the hiviz above lights. That's what I have a problem with - it's stupid un-safety.
Any chance you could point out where anyone has done that?I love how you guys dismiss evidence that doesn't agree with your POV.
This is your first mistake. I have not dismissed the photo in any way, shape or form, although distorting what is in front of you like that is not too surprising.You've dismissed the photos, when they clearly show reality.
Indeed... which is why I was confirming that the two are used interchangeably for those who might be more recent.Hiviz is the combo of fluo and reflectives - I thought we'd moved past that a long time ago.
And this is your second mistake, not quite up to the level of the previous poster who said "we dismiss hiviz because we see it everywhere" but I know that, riding home this very evening, I saw someone in hi-viz from about 1/2 mile away but neither I nor the car I was following saw the ninja (this was at about 7pm heading westwards) until it was very nearly too late.I suspect that deep down you know that hiviz is nothing more than a rabbit's foot for luck and hope.
