Why will it?

Doesn't make me do that when I have them in the car, why should it if I
wear one on a bike?

Having them in the car is not actually using them.
try reading some of the posts below, such as 'another that might have
lived...............' apparently the rider was lulled into a false sense of
security 'because he was wearing a hi viz jacket' . The psycholist attitude
seems to be that any safety equipment or sensible road use will increase
your likelihood of having an accident.

It is when they're necessary. All of ours have been used a couple of
times at least.

lived...............' apparently the rider was lulled into a false
sense of security 'because he was wearing a hi viz jacket' . The

Bull****. That's your spin on what you think others are thinking. I
doubt you can find a post from a cyclist that explicity says "that any
safety equipment or sensible road use will increase your likelihood of
having an accident". Or that any rider was "lulled into a false sense
of security 'because he was wearing a hi viz jacket'"

Most cyclists, me included, wear some safety equipment most times we go
out. In my case it's 'cos I know some other myopic road users might
not see me .. but it doesn't make me feel any more secure, it just
allows me to use it in mitigation of my actions when/if some ****wit
puts me in hospital and the ambulance chasers try to get out of their
insurance claims.

I must be imagining the first post I looked at then from SW:
"This accident shows the danger of wearing so-called 'safety' equipment,
like hi-vis clothing and helmets, which give the rider an illusion of
security without making any difference in reality."

I didn't know SW was a cyclist ...

fair do's, I actually replied to his post too ..

I still think it's an absolute fallacy to think that cyclists think
that wearing Hi-Vis makes them less vulnerable. I think it just gives
them more chance to be seen .. as said ..

Totally agree Paul. That's the reason why road workers and traffic police
also wear high-visibility clothing.
