High Vis question

If you wear high vis do you find that drivers get out of your way or move over to let you past.
It happens to me all the time. Drivers will move out of the lane or give me right of way.

.

Can't complain i guess. cos at least they see me.

I can't think of anything to put here.

I think I can hear the sound of FJS' Altbergs approaching...

Yawn! It's wearing a little thin now, don't you think?

this subject always ends in tears...

Some folk here are not very open minded when it comes to high vis..

I wear it when i'm teaching or the weather is mega shite, like foggy as a foggy thing..

Apart from that I don't wear it, assume they can't see me cos they're not even looking, and ride to be able to avoid there wanky driving..

There's no I in TEAM, but there is a ME!!!

Might be best to do that when you are wearing it....

They do that to me too, but I don't wear high vis.

I don't trust them when they do it either..

I wear this if I know it's gonna be dark on the way home.

It's waterproof, warm as anything and everything stays dry in the pockets.

I find traffic slows down as I approach and traffic ahead moves over to let me through.

Mind ya It has reflective white bitsa all over the jacket & I also wear a Schuberth C2 with blue and yellow reflective stickers on it aswell.

My theory is that i'd rather be seen and have motorists sit up and think as I approach instead of being splatted against a lorry in the pissing down rain in the pitch night by a mypoic codger. Be seen and stand out.

Of course in daylight it's back to leather and sports lid for hooning.

blah blah blah etc etc......

Yes, particularly when riding the Pan.

Just wear Hi Vis gear and ride the Pan alongside some **** who is using a mobile to see the reaction when he/she realises there is a Police Bike next to them.

What, not another jolly ?

I find that if I ride with my full beam on, I can completely do away with all the hi-viz equipment and stuff.

It makes a bit of difference in town traffic, but only a bit....Still the way I look at it is every little bit helps

I ride the same whatever I wear

This topic is always the same...

Yep, and those that think hi-viz does any good at all are always wrong.
