lazyfatgit said:I dont really care whether anyone wears a hi vis vest or not. I sometimes do, though both my waterproof jackets have lots of reflectives, which i think are more effective at night than yellow or orange clothing, especially on the unlit roadfs ive been riding recently. I'm not convinced about bright clothing during the day. doesn't matter what your wearing when a dozy driver nods off at the wheel.

but in broad daylight I don't think it's necessary, there's lots of very bright contrasting tops out there

The rest of the time I wear a normal high viz waist coat. Yes I look a prat. and the reflective straps around my ankles. It makes Mrs B feel better. I do feel different on the occasion I went without.
But principally when I do get knocked down the compensation won't be reduced by X% because someone decides my not wearing it was a factor.
I should really get a smaller size so it doesn't flap as much.
