Mandatory Hi-Vis

[Arnie]

I received an email asking me to sign a petition opposing mandatory Hi-Vis clothing for motorcyclists.
This is the first I've heard about this and don't know if this proposal is even being considered, but I signed anyhow.

Hope it never takes hold.  Good luck!  


By the looks of the embedded  vid in the article, wearing hi-vis certainly doesn't stop you from being a complete idiot and directing traffic while parked broadside on a busy hi-way.   WTF.  What could possibly be behind a large truck that is forced to change lanes at the last minute??

They only need to make Common Sense mandatory! I have to admit to voluntary wearing a Hi Vis sleeveless vest when accompanying learner riders or in city traffic and occasionally on country roads. As a driver with over 50's eyes, I find riders with sensible hi vis usefull in keeping track of bikes on the brain driven radar
