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

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. |

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

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 .. -- Paul - xxx |
