but i think it comes down to freedom's. i hate that there is a helmet law. and by this i mean i would ALWAYS wear a helmet NO MATTER WHAT. but i dont like that the government says i HAVE to or i cant ride. i get it keeps stupid people from riding without helmets and dying but c'mon, erryone knows motor bikes are dnagerous. if your dumb enough to ride one without it then thats your own fault. i deffinatley dont want anyone saying i have to wear flourescent colors if i dont choose to.
even if you wear hi vis stuff and agree that a law forcing people to wear them just makes people safer... its not about being safe or anything. its about freedom and liberty and the right to make your own decisions. you let the government say that you HAVE to wear hi vis. next they say motor bikes are too dangerous and outlaw them.... people have to be able to make their own judgements. not be forced to do something because people think is "right"
Thats very true. Can you imagine if everybody wore hi-vis?, dog walkers, horse riders,pedestrians etc, if would still be crap, hi-vis used to be different and thats what people noticed, nowadays i see all manner of people wearing them and they just blend in.
Riding with lights on nowadays is the norm on lots of cars etc but loud cans do work, i filter (sensibly) and its always the cans that they hear and notice. They will no doubt come up with another shite idea soon like flashing lights on trilby hats etc but that wont stop the ignorant "i didn't see you" nobs knocking you off. Be vigalent, be careful where and when you over take look in there mirrors when filtering and have fookin loud cans
