  3. TBH did wear hi viz if I was carrying one of my kids or marshalling on a ride out etc, but I still had other road users do exactly the same things as when I was not wearing hi viz. So I decided to not wear it anymore, and believe that every other road user was potentially a danger to me. I can't say I have noticed any difference whatsoever. The only high viz I ever seem to notice are the Fluro helmets! What I will add is since I changed bike to one with headlights that all my mate say they cannot fail to see in the day, drivers part like the red see when I am filtering in heavy traffic,bike is a new mutley with LED headlights, that works!

  6. ^ get away.. don't believe that one AL - why don't you paint a mural on each side fairing and then sell it as a piece of art?

  8. What on earth would make you want to buy and wear a Hi-Viz vest with POLITE on the back?

    IMHO the simple answer is that they are Police wannabe tossers.

  9. I recently came up behind a polite hi viz wearer on BMW with Police like markings all over, he looked nearly like a copper,nearly had the riding position of police rider, and every other road user thought he was a copper ,but didn't didn't have the speed of thought on the road as a police rider, nor the skill sets because he was just a wanker, and it gave me great pleasure on overtaking him at 31 mph v his 27 mph while giving him the appropriate W hand signal and not look worried. I hope our paths cross again.

  12. They wear them in the mistaken belief it means they don't have to get out of the overtaking lane. They are wrong. They are utter fucking wankers.

  14. They are wankers 2 fold first to dress like that and second cos they think the clothes and stripey flourescent bike are what makes people in cars avoid hitting them not training and a lot of experience and miles under the belt

  15. If they want to dress like that it's up to them. But if they want to dress like that and get in my way, they're gonna get hurt, no matter how friggin' polite they are:mad:
